Evaluate this piecewise function at x = -2 and x = 0. f(x) = {x^3, x ≠ -2
lx| , x = -2

5x+2x=49

7x=49

x=7. 35 apples

5=812a+9+3

step 1: simplify both sides of the equation.

5=812a+9+3

5=(812a)+(9+3)(combine like terms)

5=812a+12

5=812a+12

step 2: flip the equation.

812a+12=5

step 3: subtract 12 from both sides.

812a+12−12=5−12

812a=−7

step 4: divide both sides by 812.

812a /812 = -7/812

a= -1/116

so the answer is

a=   -1/116

they can either have 0,1, or infinite solutions
