Explanation:

Step1: Evaluate function \(g(x)=x - 7\) at \(x = 4\)

Substitute \(x = 4\) into \(g(x)\): \(g(4)=4 - 7=-3\)

Step2: Evaluate function \(f(x)=-2x\) at \(x=-6\)

Substitute \(x = - 6\) into \(f(x)\): \(f(-6)=-2\times(-6)=12\)

Step3: Evaluate function \(k(x)=-\frac{1}{4}x - 11\) at \(x=-12\)

Substitute \(x=-12\) into \(k(x)\): \(k(-12)=-\frac{1}{4}\times(-12)-11 = 3 - 11=-8\)

Step4: Evaluate function \(t(x)=9x + 10\) at \(x =-\frac{1}{6}\)

Substitute \(x =-\frac{1}{6}\) into \(t(x)\): \(t(-\frac{1}{6})=9\times(-\frac{1}{6})+10=-\frac{3}{2}+10=\frac{-3 + 20}{2}=\frac{17}{2}\)

Step5: Evaluate function \(c(x)=0.25x - 3\) at \(x = 10\)

Substitute \(x = 10\) into \(c(x)\): \(c(10)=0.25\times10-3=2.5 - 3=-0.5\)

Step6: Evaluate function \(g(x)=15-\frac{7}{8}x\) at \(x = 24\)

Substitute \(x = 24\) into \(g(x)\): \(g(24)=15-\frac{7}{8}\times24=15 - 21=-6\)

Step7: Evaluate function \(w(x)=21-6x - 13\) at \(x=\frac{1}{2}\)

First simplify \(w(x)=8 - 6x\), then substitute \(x=\frac{1}{2}\): \(w(\frac{1}{2})=8-6\times\frac{1}{2}=8 - 3 = 5\)

Step8: Evaluate function \(p(x)=-\frac{1}{4}(x + 36)-14\) at \(x=-8\)

Substitute \(x=-8\) into \(p(x)\): \(p(-8)=-\frac{1}{4}(-8 + 36)-14=-\frac{1}{4}\times28-14=-7 - 14=-21\)

Step9: Solve \(h(x)=8x=-56\) for \(x\)

Divide both sides by 8: \(x=\frac{-56}{8}=-7\)

Step10: Solve \(h(x)=-\frac{5}{6}x = 10\) for \(x\)

Multiply both sides by \(-\frac{6}{5}\): \(x=10\times(-\frac{6}{5})=-12\)

Step11: Evaluate function \(f(x,y)=xy - 3y\) at \(x=-5,y = 8\)

Substitute \(x=-5,y = 8\) into \(f(x,y)\): \(f(-5,8)=(-5)\times8-3\times8=-40-24=-64\)

Step12: Evaluate function \(f(x,y)=x+xy\) at \(x = 6,y = 5\)

Substitute \(x = 6,y = 5\) into \(f(x,y)\): \(f(6,5)=6+6\times5=6 + 30=36\)

Step13: The equation \(x + y=-4x-9y + 1\) is not a function - evaluation problem as stated. It needs to be rewritten and solved for a variable. But since no clear task is given for it, we skip this for now.

Step14: Solve \(c(x)=90 + 12x=114\) for \(x\)

Subtract 90 from both sides: \(12x=114 - 90 = 24\), then divide both sides by 12: \(x = 2\)
