Find f(x) and g(x) such that h%28x%29+=+%28fog%29%28x%29+=+sqrt%28x-7%29+-3

1.  First find g(x) 

Pick any expression in x that is part of the right side of h(x).
Label that g(x).

2.  Second, find f(x)

Substitute x for the expression picked for f(x).
label it g(x).

------------------

There are more than one way to do this.

1. Pick g(x) = x-7 

2. Substitute x for x-7 in the right side of h(x)
    
Right side of h(x) is sqrt%28x-7%29+-3

Replace x-7 by x

sqrt%28x%29+-3         

Label it f(x)

f%28x%29=sqrt%28x%29-3
