Question

question 12 of 22. if a function h is expressed as h(x)=(x - 1)+5, then for what positive value of the variable x is the function h(x)=40? a. 64 b. 6 c. 8 d. 36

Explanation:

Step1: Set up the equation

Set \(h(x)=(x - 1)+5 = 40\).

Step2: Simplify the left - hand side

First, simplify \((x - 1)+5\) to \(x+4\). So the equation becomes \(x + 4=40\).

Step3: Solve for x

Subtract 4 from both sides of the equation: \(x=40 - 4\).
\(x = 36\)

Answer:

d. 36
