Question

Given g(x)=-5x-4, solve for x when g(x)=1.

Answer 1

Your answer is 2

Explanation:

If g(x) = -5x - 4 and g(x) = 1 then -5x - 4 = 1.

Given this, we can now solve for x by adding 4 to both sides and then dividing both sides by -5 to isolate the value of x.

-5x-4=1

-5x-4+4=1+4

-5x=5

5 5

5 5

x=-1
