To find the value of x that makes g(x) equal to 14, we start by setting up the equation based on the definition of g(x).
We know:
g(x) = 4x + 6
We need to find x when g(x) = 14, so we set up the equation:
4x + 6 = 14
Next, we solve for x:
- First, subtract 6 from both sides:
- Now, divide both sides by 4:
4x + 6 - 6 = 14 - 6
This simplifies to:
4x = 8
x = 8 / 4
This simplifies to:
x = 2
Thus, the value of x that makes g(x) equal to 14 is x = 2.
