Question

Given g(x) = 10x + 2, find x when g(x) = 2.

Answer 1

x=0

Explanation:

We are given:

g(x) =10x +2

and

g(x)=2

g(x) is equal to both 10x+2 and 2. Therefore, by substitution, we can set them equal to each other

10x+2=2

Now, we need to solve for x. First, move all the numbers to the same side. Subtract 2 from both sides

10x+2-2=2-2

10x=0

To solve for x, we have to get x by itself. x and 10 are being multiplied. To get x alone, divide both sides by 10.

10x/10=0/10

x=0
