Question

I don’t understand how to solve it

Answer 1

Answer:

Put 9 in the box

Step-by-step explanation:

When we don't know the value for x, we get a general equation of

h(x) = 8x - 10.  

We can plug in values for x to get values for h(x)...

Ex:  If x = 1, then

               h(1) = 8(1) - 10      

                    h(1) = 8 - 10

                      h(1) = 2

So for this equation, when x = 1, the equation equals 2

What it's asking is what value of x  makes the equation equal to 62.  

So set the equation equal to 62 and solve for x

     62 = 8x - 10                (now solve for x)

            72 = 8x             (add 10 to both sides)

 

             9 =  x                (divide both sides by 8 to isolate x)

So h(9) = 62
