6(4x + 2) = 3(8x + 4)
Reorder the terms:
6(2 + 4x) = 3(8x + 4)
(2 * 6 + 4x * 6) = 3(8x + 4)
(12 + 24x) = 3(8x + 4)
Reorder the terms:
12 + 24x = 3(4 + 8x)
12 + 24x = (4 * 3 + 8x * 3)
12 + 24x = (12 + 24x)
Add '-12' to each side of the equation.
12 + -12 + 24x = 12 + -12 + 24x
Combine like terms: 12 + -12 = 0
0 + 24x = 12 + -12 + 24x
24x = 12 + -12 + 24x
Combine like terms: 12 + -12 = 0
24x = 0 + 24x
24x = 24x
Add '-24x' to each side of the equation.
24x + -24x = 24x + -24x
Combine like terms: 24x + -24x = 0
0 = 24x + -24x
Combine like terms: 24x + -24x = 0
0 = 0
Solving
0 = 0
The answer is -8
====================================================
Explanation:
There are two ways to get this answer
Method 1 will have us plug x = 0 into h(x) to get
h(x) = x^2 - 4
h(0) = 0^2 - 4
h(0) = 0 - 4
h(0) = -4
Then this output is plugged into g(x) to get
g(x) = 2x
g(-4) = 2*(-4)
g(-4) = -8 which is the answer
This works because (g o h)(0) is the same as g(h(0)). Note how h(0) is replaced with -4
So effectively g(h(0)) = -8 which is the same as (g o h)(0) = -8
-----------------------
The second method involves a bit algebra first
Start with the outer function g(x). Then replace every x with h(x). On the right side, we will replace h(x) with x^2-4 because h(x) = x^2-4
g(x) = 2x
g(x) = 2( x )
g(h(x)) = 2( h(x) ) ... replace every x with h(x)
g(h(x)) = 2( x^2-4 ) ... replace h(x) on the right side with x^2-4
g(h(x)) = 2x^2-8
(g o h)(x) = 2x^2-8
Now plug in x = 0
(g o h)(x) = 2x^2-8
(g o h)(0) = 2(0)^2-8
(g o h)(0) = 2(0)-8
(g o h)(0) = 0-8
(g o h)(0) = -8
Regardless of which method you use, the answer is -8
