g(x)=17 G(x)=5x-1
solve for g(x)=17
is the answer 84
g(x) = 17 or y =17 is a horizontal line 17 units above the x-axis
G(x) is a line with slope of 5 and y-intercept of -1
they intersect when y = 17 and
5x-1=17
5x=18
x=18/5
obviously the answer is not 84
wait so you dont put in 17 into 5x-1 thats how i got 84
To solve for g(x) = 17, you need to set the equation equal to 17 and solve for x.
Start by substituting g(x) = 17 into the equation:
17 = 5x - 1
Add 1 to both sides of the equation:
17 + 1 = 5x
Simplify:
18 = 5x
Divide both sides of the equation by 5:
18/5 = 5x/5
Simplify further:
3.6 = x
So, the answer is x = 3.6.
