Question

Given h(x) = -x + 5 solve for x when h(x)=0

Answer 1

Rewrite:

0 = -x + 5

-5 = - 1x

x = 5

Answer 2

Answer: x = 5

Explanation:

In order to evaluate this function, I am going to plug in 0 for h(x):

`\hookrightarrow\bf{h(x)=-x+5}`

`\hookrightarrow\bf{0=-x+5}`

`\hookrightarrow\bf{0-5=-x}`

`\hookrightarrow\bf{-5=-x}`

`\hookrightarrow\bf{5=x}`

Therefore, x = 5.
