1. What does each expression equation represent in this situation? Q(18) b. Q(30) = 27.5​

Step-by-step explanation:

Q(18) is a direction. It means that wherever you see a variable like x on the right, you put an 18 in for it. For example Suppose the right looked like

Q(x) = x^2 + 10 Then Q(18) would mean

Q(18) = 18^2 + 10

Q(18) = 324 + 10

Now we come to the second equation (b)

What that means is that after you do all the calculations, your answer is

27.5

So for the first question(a) Q(18) = 334

A is the direction of what to do. It is the question.

B is the answer

answer: x=60
