I've been given two functions
f(X) = 18x+3
g(x)= 28-d

how do I find the value of d?

Where is the x in g(x)? Was that a typo?

You could find d if you where given fg(x) or gf(x).
typo
F(x)= 18x+3
g(x)= 28x-d

how do I find the value of d?

What was g(x) or can you send a photo of the question?

Do you have the value of g(x), fg(x) or gf(x)?
this is the question :

two functions are defined by

f(X)= 18x 3.
g(X) = 28x-d

where d is an unknown number. it is known that
f^-1 g^-1 (x) = g^-1 f^-1(x)

Find the value of d?

When you put f^-1 g^-1 (x) is that a product or composition of functions?
composition of functions
thanks loci Pi
that was the correct answer

No problem :smile:
Just out of interest, was that question for GCSE or A levels?
