Hello!
So, your equation for this problem would be—
x+4=3x
To solve this equation, you need to move the variables (x) to only one side of the equation.
So, you would use the Subtraction Property of Equality.
x+4=3x
-x -x
—————
4=2x
Now, your new equation is 4=2x.
Using the Commutative Property, we can reverse this to—
2x=4
Your next step is to find X. To do this, we can divide each side by 2.
2x=4
———
2 2
____
2/2=1. 4/2=2
Thus your new equation is—
X=2.
As a conclusion, there were 2 apples in the sack before you added the extra ones.
To check this, you could do
2+4= 6
6/3= 2
There were 2 apples originally in the sack.
Hope this helped!

(f o g)(x) = 2(5x + 1) - 6 = 10x - 4
(g o f)(x) = 5(2x - 6) + 1 = 10x - 29
So (f o g)(x) produces the greatest output.
