QUESTION → 
Start by subtracting 3 from both sides to get 
.
Now multiply both sides by the reciprocal of 3/2, which is 2/3.
On the left, we have x, and on the right, -3(2/3) is -2.
So we have x = -2.
is continuous over its domain, all real
.
Meanwhile,
is defined for real
.
If
, then we have
as the domain of
.
We know that if
and
are continuous functions, then so is the composite function
.
Both
and
are continuous on their domains (excluding the endpoints in the case of
), which means
is continuous over
.
