Question

Given h(x) = 5x + 2, solve for 2 when h(x) = -8.

Answer 1

`\huge\boxed{\sf x = -2}`

Explanation:

`\sf h(x) = 5x+2\\\\Put \ h(x) = -8\\\\-8 = 5x+2\\\\Subtract \ 2 \ to \ both \ sides\\\\-8-2 = 5x\\\\-10 = 5x\\\\Divide\ both \ sides \ by \ 5\\\\-10 / 5 = x \\\\x = -2 \\\\\rule[225]{225}{2}`

Hope this helped!
