(goh)(x) = (g(x))(h(x)) = (x^2)(x-7) = x^3 -7x^2
then (goh)(5) = (5^3)-7(5)^2 = 124-7(25) = 124-175 = -51
Answer:
x = 5
Step-by-step explanation:
Note the equal sign, what you do to one side, you do to the other. Isolate the variable, x.
Add 3 and subtract 2x from both sides of the equation:
4x (-2x) - 3 (+3) = 2x (-2x) + 7 (+3)
4x - 2x = 7 + 3
2x = 10
Next, isolate the x by dividing 2 from both sides of the equation:
(2x)/2 = (10)/2
x = 10/2
x = 5
5 is your answer for x.
