Math Problem Statement

Given f, of, x, equals, 4, x, minus, 3f(x)=4x−3, solve for xx when f, of, x, equals, 9f(x)=9.

Solution

To solve for xx when f(x)=9f(x) = 9, we start by using the given function definition: f(x)=4x3f(x) = 4x - 3

Step 1: Set up the Equation

Since f(x)=9f(x) = 9, substitute 99 for f(x)f(x) in the equation: 4x3=94x - 3 = 9

Step 2: Solve for xx

  1. Add 3 to both sides: 4x3+3=9+34x - 3 + 3 = 9 + 3 4x=124x = 12

  2. Divide by 4: x=124x = \frac{12}{4} x=3x = 3

Therefore, the solution is: x=3x = 3
