Solve the equation f(x+1)-g(x-2)=10 if f(x)=x+3 and g(x)=2x-1

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.
