Question

Given that g(x)=3x - 12, what is the value of x when g(x)=-27?

Answer 1

Answer:-93

Step-by-step explanation:

g(x)=3x-12

g(x)=3(-27)-12   -  Substitute

g(x)=-81-12        -  Multipy

g(x)= -93             - Add

Answer 2

Answer:

x = -5

Step-by-step explanation:

If g(x)= 3x - 12, and g(x)= -27 then -27 = 3x -12

Solve for x

     -27 = 3x -12, add 12 to both sides

-27+12 = 3x, add -27+12

     -15 = 3x, divide both sides by 3

      -5 = x
