Question

If h(x)= 5x +3 and h(a)= 33, what is the value of a?

Answer 1

We are told that h(a) = 33, which means when you put an into the function the output is 33. In other words,

`h(a)=5(a)+3=33`

This gives us the equation

`5a+3=33`

Subtracting 3 from both sides gives

`5a=30`

Finally, dividing both sides by 5 gives

`a=6.`

Which is choice A,
