Exercise 13 Page 125

Substitute 63 for h(x).

x=-9

Practice makes perfect

To find the value of x that will make the function equal to 63, we will substitute 63 for h(x) in the given function rule. Then, we can solve for x.

h(x)=-7x

h(x)= 63

63=-7x

.LHS /-7.=.RHS /-7.

-9=x

Rearrange equation

x=-9

When x=-9, the function equals 63.

Checking Our Answer

Verifying Our Solution

We can verify our solution by substituting x=-9 into the function and evaluating.

h(x)=-7x

x= -9

h( -9)=-7( -9)

Multiply

h(-9)=63

When x=-9, h(x)=63, so our solution is correct.
