all right, we have function h of X. And according to the problem, H of X is the composition of G of F. So f is the inside function, and we know that we need to find the outside function and somehow there's a times for involved. So let's do a little bit of playing around with it. So what if g of x waas just for X, what would we get for GFF? We would get four times the quantity X plus four, so that would be four times X plus 16. Well, that's not quite right because we wanted four times X minus one. We have plus 16. So this answer is 17 too large. So what if we then compensated for that by subtracting 17 in our G of X? That would give us for X minus one. So that means that G of X must be for X minus 17 so that we can substitute X plus four into it and end up with age of X
