replace g(x) with 20

Answer 2

Alright, that's what I thought, I just wanted to make sure. I'm not really all that confident in myself when it comes to math lol

Answer 3

\[\huge\rm \color{Red}{g(x)}=2(x-4)\]\[\huge\rm \color{Red}{20}=2(x-4)\]
now solve for x

Answer 4

x = 14

Answer 5

thats mean you're pretty good at math :=)

Answer 6
