If y is inversely proportional to x. We know that y=k/x for some constant k. We need to find this constant before continuing. Looking at the information given to us in the question we know for one example...

Step 1) Rearrange the first equation to make y the subject: 8x + 2y = 48 , 2y = 48 - 8x , y = 24 - 4x. step 2) Sub y = 23 - 4x into the second equation: 14x + 6(24 -4x) = 94 , 14x + 144 - 24x = 94 Step 3)...

Assign 2x+y=5 to be 'Equation 1,' and 3x+y=7 to be 'Equation 2.'The steps to solving for x and y are: 1.get rid of one variable (being either x or y) 2.solve for the other variable 3.substitute the now kn...

gradient is calculated using the change in y coordinates divided by change in x coordinates. so, (15-9)/(d-5)=3 => 6/(d-5)= 3rearrange this equation to get d on one side (6/3)+5 = d therefore d= 7

So this is a functions question which is essentially asking you to combine the first two functions and then equate them with the last one.
fg(x) can be considered as replacing the x in f(x) with g(x)...
