Q. For a given input value b, the function g outputs a value a to satisfy the following equation.a−7=3(b+2)Write a formula for g(b) in terms of b.g(b)=
Given equation: We are given the equation a−7=3(b+2). To find the formula for g(b), we need to express a in terms of b.
Distributing the 3: First, distribute the 3 on the right side of the equation to both terms inside the parentheses: 3(b+2)=3b+6.
Isolating a: Now, we have the equation a−7=3b+6. To solve for a, we need to isolate it on one side of the equation. We do this by adding 7 to both sides of the equation.
Simplifying the equation: Adding 7 to both sides gives us a=3b+6+7.
Formula for g(b): Simplify the right side of the equation by combining like terms: 3b+6+7=3b+13.
Formula for g(b): Simplify the right side of the equation by combining like terms: 3b+6+7=3b+13.Now we have the formula for a in terms of b, which is a=3b+13. Since g outputs a value a for a given input value b, we can write the formula for g(b) as g(b)=3b+13.
