ANSWER

$x = - 3 \: \: or \: \: x = 3$

The degree is two so it must have more than one solution.

EXPLANATION

The given equation is

${x}^{2} = 9$

Let us use the square root method to solve this equation.

Since the degree of x is two, the fundamental theorem of algebra says it must have 2 roots.

We take square root to obtain,

$x = \pm \sqrt{9}$

$x = \pm3$

Split the plus or minus sign to obtain,

$x = - 3 \: \: or \: \: x = 3$

This is an arithmetic sequence with a common difference of -4, meaning that each term is four less than the previous term. So the next term in that sequence (technically the term "series" should be reserve for infinite sequences) will be 67-4=63.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

We want to find the inverse of g(x). One way to do this is to switch the g(x) and x in the original equation and then solve for g(x); that will give you the inverse.

Here, $g(x)=\frac{3}{5} x-9$ . Switch the g(x) and x to become: $x=\frac{3}{5} g(x)-9$ . Now solve for g(x) by isolating it:
