Let d represent the distance of the destination from the starting point.
After 45 min, Henry has already driven d-68 miles. After 71 min., he has already driven d-51.5 miles.
So we have 2 points on a straight line:
(45,d-68) and (71,d-51.5). Let's find the slope of the line thru these 2 points:
d-51.5 - (d-68) 16.5 miles
slope of line = m = ----------------------- = ------------------
71 - 45 26 min
Thus, the slope, m, is m = 0.635 miles/min
The distance to his destination would be d - (0.635 miles/min)(79 min), or
d - 50.135 miles. We don't know how far his destination is from his starting point, so represent that by "d."
After 45 minutes: Henry has d - 68 miles to go;
After 71 minutes, he has d - 51.5 miles to go; and
After 79 minutes, he has d - x miles to go. We need to find x.
Actually, much of this is unnecessary. Assuming that Henry's speed is 0.635 miles/ min, and knowing that there are 8 minutes between 71 and 79 minutes, we can figure that the distance traveled during those 8 minutes is
(0.635 miles/min)(8 min) = 5.08 miles. Subtracting thix from 51.5 miles, we conclude that after 79 minutes, Henry has (51.5-5.08), or 46.42, miles left before he reaches his destination.
No, -8 - 2(3 + 2n) + 7n is not equivalent to -30 - 13n
Step-by-step explanation:
Let us revise the operation of the negative and positive numbers
- (-) + (-) = (-)
- (-) × (-) = (+)
- (-) + (+) = the sign of greatest [(-) if the greatest is (-) or (+) if the greatest is (+)]
- (-) × (+) = (-)
- (-) - (+) = (-)
- (+) - (-) = (+)
∵ The expression is -8 - 2(3 + 2n) + 7n
- Simplify it
∵ 2(3 + 2n) = 2(3) + 2(2n) = 6 + 4n
∴ -8 - 2(3 + 2n) + 7n = -8 - (6 + 4n) + 7n
- Multiply the bracket by (-)
∴ -8 - (6 + 4n) + 7n = -8 - 6 - 4n + 7n
- Add the like terms
∴ -8 - (6 + 4n) + 7n = (-8 - 6) - 4n + 7n
∴ -8 - (6 + 4n) + 7n = -14 + 3n
∴ -8 - 2(3 + 2n) + 7n is equivalent to -14 + 3n
∵ -14 + 3n ≠ -30 - 13n
∴ -8 - 2(3 + 2n) + 7n is not equivalent to -30 - 13n
No, -8 - 2(3 + 2n) + 7n is not equivalent to -30 - 13n

Answer:
J. 1
Step-by-step explanation:
Plug the x values into the equation:
f(-1)=3-(-1)^2
f(2)=3-(2)^2
Solve each one, then add.
3-(-1)^2=
=3-1=2
3-(2)^2=
=3-4=-1
Combine the answers together.
2-1=1
The answer is J. 1.
