Answer 1

To find the value of \( g(20) \), we will substitute \( x = 20 \) into the function \( g(x) = 6(2x + 7) \).

First, substitute \( x \) with 20:

\[
g(20) = 6(2(20) + 7)
\]

Now, calculate \( 2(20) \):

\[
2(20) = 40
\]

Next, add 7 to this result:

\[
40 + 7 = 47
\]

Now, multiply this sum by 6:

\[
g(20) = 6 \times 47
\]

Calculating that gives:

\[
6 \times 47 = 282
\]

So, the value of \( g(20) \) is \( \boxed{282} \).
