Question 756543: If f(x) = 2x + 1 and g(x) = (x � 1)/2 , then f(g(x)) =
So, I know what to do... Basic plug and chug. I also know that the answer is X, I just don't know how to get to the answer.
I plug in g(x)...
f(x) = 2(x-1/2)+1, distribute... (2x-2+1)/2, combine like terms... (2x-1)/2.
Now that's where I get stuck. I don't know how to get to x, unless I did my math wrong. How do I get to x?

If f(x) = 2x + 1 and g(x) = (x � 1)/2 ,
then f(g(x)) = f[(x-1)/2] = 2[(x-1)/2]+1 = (x-1)+1 = x
