f(x) = 2x + 5

and

g(x) = x2 - 25

So to find g( f(x) ), replace every x in g(x) with f(x) .

g( f(x) ) = (2x + 5)2 - 25

g( f(x) ) = (2x + 5)2 - 25

g( f(x) ) = (2x + 5)(2x + 5) - 25

g( f(x) ) = 4x2 + 10x + 10x + 25 - 25

g( f(x) ) = 4x2 + 20x

If g( f(x) ) = g( 7 ) , then that means f(x) must equal 7.

f(x) = 7

2x + 5 = 7

2x = 7 - 5

2x = 2

x = 1
