Finding f(2)
In order to find f(2) we just have to replace x by 2 in its equation:
f(x) = 3x - 1
↓
f(2) = 3 · 2 - 1
f(2) = 6 - 1
f(2) = 5
Finding g(x) = f(2)
Since g(x) = f(2) is
g(x) = 5
using the equation of g, we have that
2x - 3 = 5
In order to find x we just solve the previous equation
2x - 3 = 5
↓ adding 3 both sides of the equation
2x - 3 + 3 = 5 + 3
2x = 8
↓ dividing by 2 both sides of the equation
2x/2 = 8/2
x = 4
Answer- D: x = 4
