Q. Function m is defined by m(x)=10x. Function n is defined by n(x)=8x−3. Which of the following values of x satisfies the functional equation m(x)−n(x)=7 ?
Define functions and equation: Define the functions m(x) and n(x) and set up the equation according to the problem statement.m(x)=10xn(x)=8x−3Set up the equation: m(x)−n(x)=710x−(8x−3)=7
Simplify equation: Simplify the equation by distributing and combining like terms.10x−8x+3=72x+3=7
Solve for x: Solve for x by isolating the variable.2x+3=72x=7−32x=4x=24x=2
