Answer:

x=1

Step-by-step explanation:

We distribute the negative 5 to x minus three to get 8x-5x+15=18. Then, we cancel out the 15 by subtracting it from both sides. This leaves us with 8x-5x=3. When we subtract, we get 3x=3, and when we divide both sides by 3, we get x=1. Hope this helps :)

F of x equals four divided by x. and g of x equals four divided by x

nikdorinn [45]

F(x)=8/x, g(x)=8/x
f(g(x)) = f(8/x)=8/8/x=x,
g(f(x)) =g(8/x) =8/8/x=x,
so f(g(x)) = g(f(x)) = x. if f of x equals eight divided by x and g of x equals eight divided by x
