Q. For a given input value x, the function g outputs a value y to satisfy the following equation.−4x−6=−5y+2Write a formula for g(x) in terms of x.g(x)=
Isolate y in the equation: First, we need to isolate y on one side of the equation to find the function g(x) in terms of x. We start with the given equation:−4x−6=−5y+2
Move the term involving y to the left side: Next, we add 5y to both sides of the equation to move the term involving y to the left side:−4x−6+5y=−5y+2+5yThis simplifies to:−4x−6+5y=2
Isolate the terms with y on the left side: Now, we subtract 2 from both sides to isolate the terms with y on the left side:−4x−6+5y−2=2−2This simplifies to:−4x−8+5y=0
Get y by itself: We then add 4x+8 to both sides to get y by itself:5y=4x+8
Solve for y: Finally, we divide both sides by 5 to solve for y:y=54x+8This gives us the function g(x) in terms of x:g(x)=54x+8
