We need to equate these two results of h(x) and solve for x:
\(\displaystyle{2}{x}+{1}={5}\)
\(\displaystyle{2}{x}+{1}-{\color{red}{{1}}}={5}-{\color{red}{{1}}}\)
\(\displaystyle{2}{x}+{0}={4}\)
\(\displaystyle{2}{x}={4}\)
\(\displaystyle\frac{{{2}{x}}}{{\color{red}{{2}}}}=\frac{{4}}{{\color{red}{{2}}}}\)
\(\displaystyle\frac{{{\color{red}{\cancel{{{\color{black}{{2}}}}}}}{x}}}{\cancel{{{\color{red}{{2}}}}}}={2}\)
\(\displaystyle{x}={2}\)
