The image you provided shows a student's work proving that two functions \( f(x) = 3x - 7 \) and \( g(x) = \frac{x + 7}{3} \) are inverses.

The student is performing a process to check if the two functions are inverses by verifying two conditions:
1. \( f(g(x)) = x \)
2. \( g(f(x)) = x \)

The student has worked through \( f(g(x)) = x \), but the student needs to check the other condition, \( g(f(x)) = x \), to complete the proof.

Thus, the correct statement from the multiple-choice options is:
- **The student must also show \( g(f(x)) = x \).**

### Tip:
When proving that two functions are inverses, always remember to verify both conditions: \( f(g(x)) = x \) and \( g(f(x)) = x \). This ensures that the functions truly undo each other.
