Question

Given g(x) = x + 5 and h(x) = 2x - 1, find the value of g(h(2)).

Answer 1

Answer: g(h(2))=8

Explanation:

To find g(h(2)), you first need to solve h(2). After you find that value, you plug that value into g(x).

h(2)=2(2)-1 [multiply]

h(2)=4-1 [subtract]

h(2)=3

Now that we know h(2)=3, we plug 3 into g(x).

g(3)=3+5 [add]

g(3)=8

After we have plugged in h(2) into g(x), we got g(h(2))=8.
