OpenStudy (anonymous):

for some reason i just threw myself off and confused myself

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yep, you got it.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ah ok thought so

OpenStudy (anonymous):

f(2) means to plug in '2' for 'x'. 'x' here is # of candies, therefore it represents 2 candies, which is $6

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so if it told me to find f(x) = something, and told me to find it for f(3), that means anything x in the equation is 3?

OpenStudy (anonymous):
