if g(x) = -7x +2 find g(-6) explane?

Question

please show work and explane

Answer 1

Just plug -6 in for all x's
g(-6)=-7(-6)+2
g(-6)=42+2
g(-6)=44

Answer 2

you just replace x with the -6
your equation is called g...if you want to find g(something) you just plug that (something) into the variable listed there
so:

g(x)= -7x +2 --> g(-6) = -7(-6) + 2 = 42 + 2 = 44

so g(-6) = 44

if it is still confusing...it may help you to think of g(x) as y and the number listed in g(something) as x = (something)
example:
y = -7x + 2

now solve it with x = -6
you get the same answer

hope this helps

Answer 3

g(x) = -7x +2

To find g(-6) plug -6 for each x in the original equation
g(-6) = -7(-6) + 2
Now solve:
g(-6) = 42 + 2
g(-6) = 44

Answer 4

g(x) = -7x + 2
substitute -6 everywhere there's an x

g(-6) = -7(-6) + 2
g(-6) = 42 + 2
g(-6) = 44

Answer 5

the (-6) is substitued wherever there is an (x) in the equation....

so....

-7*-6+2=44

g(x)=44
