Question

G(x)=-3x-8

G( )=10

Please help

Answer 1

answer g(-6)=−3x−8=10

Answer 2

-6 goes inside ( ) since G(-6)=10.

Explanation:

It looks like you are looking for a number such that when you put in the ( ) of G( ) you get 10 as a result.

So let's say you are trying to solve G(b)=10 for b.

Well G(x)=-3x-8 so G(b)=-3b-8.

I just replaced all the x's with b's to find G(b).

Now we are trying to solve G(b)=10 for b.

G(b)=10

-3b-8=10

Add 8 on both sides:

-3b=10+8

Simplify:

-3b=18

Divide both sides by -3:

b=18/-3

Simplify:

b=-6

So G(-6)=10!

Check:

-3(-6)-8

18-8

10

G(-6)=10 is confirmed.

-6 goes inside the G( )=10.
