Question

I don’t understand how to solve it

Answer 1

Put 9 in the box

Explanation:

When we don't know the value for x, we get a general equation of

h(x) = 8x - 10.

We can plug in values for x to get values for h(x)...

Ex: If x = 1, then

h(1) = 8(1) - 10

h(1) = 8 - 10

h(1) = 2

So for this equation, when x = 1, the equation equals 2

What it's asking is what value of x makes the equation equal to 62.

So set the equation equal to 62 and solve for x

62 = 8x - 10 (now solve for x)

72 = 8x (add 10 to both sides)

9 = x (divide both sides by 8 to isolate x)

So h(9) = 62
