Question

Solve for f(5).
f(x) = 2x - 4
f(5) = [?]

Answer 1

Answer & Explanation Included:

f(x)= 2x - 4

f(5)= 2(5) - 4

f(5)= 10 - 4

f(5)= 6

Answer 2

Answer: 16

Step-by-step explanation: f(x) = 2x - 4 means that if we put an x into our function, a 2x - 4 comes out.

So if we want to find f(5), we're putting a 5 into our function which means that a 2(5) - 4 comes out which simplifies to 10 - 4 or 6.

So f(5) = 6 or the value of the function at 5 equals 6.
