Answer: x = 0

Step-by-step explanation

The idea is to replace h(x) with 3. Then we isolate x. Follow PEMDAS in reverse to get x by itself.

Here are the steps:

h(x) = -5x+3

3 = -5x+3

-5x+3 = 3

-5x = 3-3

-5x = 0

x = 0/(-5)

x = 0

As a check,

h(x) = -5x+3

h(0) = -5*0 + 3

h(0) = 0 + 3

h(0) = 3

Therefore, the input x = 0 in the domain leads to the output h(x) = 3 in the range. We have confirmed the answer x = 0

Another way to confirm the answer is to use a graphing tool like GeoGebra or Desmos.
