  • I don't know if "Brenda" missed the sequence or not...

    (r o s)(-3) =>

    s(-3) = -(-3) - 1 = 3 -1 = 2

    r(2) = 3 * 2 - 1 = 5

    (s o r)(-3) =>

    r(-3) = 3 (-3) - 1 = -10

    s(-10) = -(-10) - 1 = 9

  • r(s(-3)) = -(-10) - 1

    r(s(-3)) = 10 - 1

    r(s(-3)) = 9

    s(r(-3)) = -(-10) - 1

    s(r(-3)) = 10 - 1

    s(r(-3)) = 9
