To calculate the solutions of equation, we'll have to
determine the expressions of f(x+1) and g(x-2), first.
To
determine f(x+1), we'll substitute x by x+1 in the expression of
f(x).
f(x+1) = (x+1) + 3
We'll
remove the brackets:
f(x+1) = x + 4
(1)
We'll determine the expression of g(x-2) substituting x
by x-2:
g(x-2) = 2(x-2) -
1
We'll remove the
brackets:
g(x-2) = 2x - 4 -
1
We'll combine like
terms:
g(x-2) = 2x - 5
(2)
We'll substitute (1) and (2) in the equation that has
to be solved:
x+4-2x+5 =
10
We'll combine like
terms:
-x + 9 = 10
We'll
subtract 9 both sideS:
-x =
1
x =
-1
The only solution of the
equation is x = -1.
