Q. Function m m is defined by m(x)=10x m(x)=10 x . Function n n is defined by n(x)=8x3 n(x)=8 x-3 . Which of the following values of x x satisfies the functional equation m(x)n(x)=7 m(x)-n(x)=7 ?
  1. Define functions and equation: Define the functions m(x)m(x) and n(x)n(x) and set up the equation according to the problem statement.m(x)=10xm(x) = 10xn(x)=8x3n(x) = 8x - 3Set up the equation: m(x)n(x)=7m(x) - n(x) = 710x(8x3)=710x - (8x - 3) = 7
  2. Simplify equation: Simplify the equation by distributing and combining like terms.\newline10x8x+3=710x - 8x + 3 = 7\newline2x+3=72x + 3 = 7
  3. Solve for x: Solve for x by isolating the variable.\newline2x+3=72x + 3 = 7\newline2x=732x = 7 - 3\newline2x=42x = 4\newlinex=42x = \frac{4}{2}\newlinex=2x = 2
