SUMMARY
The problem involves finding the value of g(3) given that f(3) = 5 and the limit as x approaches 3 of the expression [2f(x) - g(x)] equals 4. By applying the properties of limits and the continuity of functions, it is established that lim x→3 g(x) = g(3). Therefore, substituting the known value of f(3) into the limit equation leads to the conclusion that g(3) must equal 6.
