Replace x with 2

OpenStudy (amorfide):

you have a function in terms of x f(x)=-5x+1 you want a function in terms of -2 so let x=-2 so substitute x=-2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

-2* sorry

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I did replace x with -2 & got answer D is that correct?

OpenStudy (amorfide):

correct well done

OpenStudy (anonymous):

No it is not correct

OpenStudy (amorfide):

-2 x -5 =10 10+1=11

OpenStudy (anonymous):

how isnt it?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

-5 multiplied by -2 is -10 and if you add 1 it would be -9

OpenStudy (amorfide):

-2 multiplied by -5 is 10 negative multiplied by a negative is positive
