The last time Aiden played baseball, he hit the ball 35% of the times he was at bat. Based on this information, how many times will Aiden hit the ball the next time he plays baseball if he is at bat 20 times?

the number of times  will Aiden hit the ball is 7

Step-by-step explanation:

The computation of the number of times will Aiden hit the ball is shown below:

She hit 35% of the times

i.e.

= Given percentage of number of times

= 35% of 20

= 35 ÷ 100 × 20

= 0.35 × 20

= 7

Hence, the number of times  will Aiden hit the ball is 7

We simply applied the above formula so that the correct value could come

The same is to be considered

let's add {f(x)=x+1}f(x)=x+1 and {g(x)=2x}g(x)=2x together to make a new function.

f(x)+g(x) =(x+1)+(2x)=x+1+2x=3x+1

let's call this new function hh. so we have:

{h(x)}={f(x)}+{g(x)}{=3x+1}h(x)=f(x)+g(x)=3x+1

we can also evaluate combined functions for particular inputs. let's evaluate function hh above for x=2x=2. below are two ways of doing this.

method 1: substitute x=2x=2 into the combined function hh.

h(x)

h(2)

​    

=3x+1

=3(2)+1

=7

​ since h(x)=f(x)+g(x)h(x)=f(x)+g(x), we can also find h(2)h(2) by finding f(2) +g(2)f(2)+g(2).

first, let's find f(2)f(2):

f(x)

f(2)

​    

=x+1

=2+1

=3

​  

now, let's find g(2)g(2):

g(x)

g(2)

​    

=2x

=2⋅2

=4

​  

so f(2)+g(2)=3+4=\greend7f(2)+g(2)=3+4=7.

notice that substituting x =2x=2 directly into function hh and finding f(2) + g(2)f(2)+g(2) gave us the same answer!
