Equation for g(x): Write down the equation given by the function g(x) for g(x)=−62.g(x)=8x+2, and we are given that g(x)=−62.So, we have the equation 8x+2=−62.
Isolating the term with x: Subtract 2 from both sides of the equation to isolate the term with x.8x+2−2=−62−2This simplifies to 8x=−64.
Solving for x: Divide both sides of the equation by 8 to solve for x.88x=8−64This simplifies to x=−8.
