The equation will be 2x + 7 = 3x

subtract 2x from bothsides, you get 7 = x

so x is equal to 7

EDITED

sorry, i didnt read the sum part, so my answer is considered wrong ahaha

2(x+7) equals 3x

distribute, you get 2x+14=3x

then subtract 2x,

the answer for x is 14

X= in the number searched
2(x+7)= is the twice the sum of this number and seven.
3x= is three times the number

Because the twice the sum of a number and seven is three times the number, we suggest the following equation:

2(x+7)=3x
2x+14=3x
3x-2x=14
x=14

Answer: the number is 14.

Answer:

A) The functions are not inverses of each other.

Step-by-step explanation:

$f(g(x))=\sqrt{(x^2+3)-3}=\sqrt{x^2}=|x|\ne x$

The result of f(g(x)) is not always x, so the functions are not inverses of each other.

In general, a quadratic (or any even-degree polynomial) such as g(x) cannot have an inverse function because it does not pass the horizontal line test.
