You have the following function:

g(x) = 3x - 7

In order to determine th value of x when g(x) = -4, you equal the previous expression to -4 and solve for x, just as follow:

g(x) = 3x - 7 replace g(x) = -4

-4 = 3x - 7 add 7 both sides

-4 + 7 = 3x simplify

3 = 3x divide by 3 both sides

3/3 = x

x = 1

Hence, the anser is x = 1

Answer:

$\huge \colorbox{red}{ \rm (3x - 7)(x + 1)}$

Step-by-step explanation:

<h3>to understand this</h3><h3>you need to know about:</h3>

factoring
PEMDAS

<h3>tips and formulas:</h3>

quadratic expression:ax²+bx+c

factoring quadratic:

Find two numbers that multiply to give ac, and add to give b
rewrite the middle with those numbers
factor out common terms
group

<h3>let's solve:</h3>

a is 3 and b is -7

$\quad ac=3\times -7$

therefore

$\quad ac=-21$

now we need to find two numbers that give -21

to do so we need to find the factors of 21

which are

$\quad 1,3,7$

likewise,

$\quad -1,-3,-7$

in this case we can take any two numbers from negative and positive factors that give us -21 and -4

3 and -7 are the two numbers that multiply to give -21 (3×-7=-21) and add to give -4. (3+(-7)=-4)

now let's factor:

$\sf rewrite \: - 4x \: as \: 3x - 7x : \\ \rm {3 x}^{2} + 3x - 7x - 7$
$\sf factor \: out \: 3x : \\ \rm 3x(x + 1) - 7x - 7$
$\sf factor \: out \: - 7 : \\ \rm 3x(x + 1) - 7(x + 1)$
$\sf \quad group : \\ \quad \rm (3x - 7)(x + 1)$

$\text{And we are done!}$
