Answer:
c = 4
Step-by-step explanation:
In g(x)=cx-3 when x is set to 0.5 , g(x)= -1.
We can solve for "c" when it is the only variable in the equation.
Substitute x for 0.5 and g(x) for -1. Isolate "c" to solve by doing reverse operations.
g(x) = cx - 3
g(0.5) = 0.5c - 3 Substitute x=0.5
-1 = 0.5c - 3 Substitute g(0.5) = -1
-1 + 3 = 0.5c - 3 + 3 Add 3 to both sides to start isolating c
2 = 0.5c
2/0.5 = 0.5c/0.5 Divide both sides by 0.5 to isolate c
4 = c Value of c
c = 4 Standard formatting puts the variable on the left side
Therefore the value of c if g(0.5)=-1 is 4.
