Let the function g be defined by g(x)=5x+2. If the square root of g(a/2) =6, what is the value of a

where it says square root, it is the square root of the whole g(a/2). (it does not include the 6)-Then g(a/2) must be 36. First find what x makes g(x) = 36 by solving 5x + 2 = 36.Thats a/2. So a is double that value of x.......
this was a question I found on the princeton review book for the SAT. I didn't understand their explanation so can you please explain it to me. Thankyou!!!

That's a/2. So a is double that value of x.

√5(a/2)+2. = 6

5a/2 = 36

5a = 72

a = 72/5

a =14.4
