You can put this solution on YOUR website!
You are on the right track.\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Plug in (x-2) in all the places where x was.\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"g%28x-2%29+=+2%28x-2%29%5E2-2%28x-2%29-4\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"g%28x-2%29+=+2%28x%5E2-4x%2B4%29+-+2x%2B4+-+4\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"g%28x-2%29+=+2x%5E2+-8x+%2B8+-+2x+\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"g%28x-2%29+=+2x%5E2+-10x+%2B8+\" some folks would be OK with this answer
\n" ); document.write( "\"g%28x-2%29+=+2x%5E2+-+2x+-+4+-8x+%2B+12\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"g%28x-2%29+=+g%28x%29+-+8x+%2B+12\" other folks would want you to state in terms of g(x)
\n" ); document.write( "
