You provided two functions:

1. \( f(x) = x - 5 \)
2. \( g(x) = 2x - 1 \)

What would you like to do with these functions? You could:
- Find values for \( f(x) \) and \( g(x) \) at specific \( x \) values.
- Compose the functions (e.g., \( f(g(x)) \) or \( g(f(x)) \)).
- Find the inverse functions.
- Solve for \( x \) when \( f(x) = g(x) \).

Please specify your goal.

---

Here are 5 questions to extend this:
1. What is the value of \( f(3) \) and \( g(3) \)?
2. How would you compute \( f(g(x)) \)?
3. What is the graph of \( f(x) \) and \( g(x) \)?
4. Can \( f(x) \) and \( g(x) \) intersect? If so, where?
5. What happens when you solve \( f(x) = 0 \) and \( g(x) = 0 \)?

**Tip:** Function composition is a useful tool when combining different processes into a single step.

Explore the linear functions f(x) = x - 5 and g(x) = 2x - 1, including how to find specific values, compose functions, and solve for intersections. Understand key algebra concepts and formulas suitable for students in Grades 8-10.
