Identify function and value: Identify the function and the value we want to find.We have the function h(x)=8x−10 and we want to find the value of x such that h(x)=62.
Set up equation: Set up the equation with the given value.We need to solve the equation 8x−10=62.
Isolate term with x: Add 10 to both sides of the equation to isolate the term with x.8x−10+10=62+108x=72
Solve for x: Divide both sides of the equation by 8 to solve for x.88x=872x=9
