4. Use the pair of functions given to find the value of each of the following combination of functions. f(x) = √ x+2, g(x) = 5x + 5
(f•g)(14) =?

the ratio of balloons to tables is 5: 2 and the constant variation is 5.

the equation is y=5x

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
