Answer:

see below

Step-by-step explanation: 5 23 15 03

f(x) = g(x) + 4 find g(x) for f(x) = 3x + 2

sub f(x) = 3x + 2 into f(x) = g(x) +4

3x + 2 = g(x) + 4

3x + 2 - 4 = g(x) + 4 - 4

3x - 2 = g(x)

Answer:

g(x) = 3x -2

Explanation:

Solve the given equation for g(x):

f(x) = g(x) +4

f(x) -4 = g(x) . . . . . subtract 4

(3x +2) -4 = g(x) . . . . . use the definition for f(x)

g(x) = 3x -2 . . . . . . . . . . . . . simplify
