2(5)= ??
OpenStudy (dancergirl45):
yeah I know that but do you go like this
f(15)=2x-5 which equals 10 or
fx=2*15-5=25
OpenStudy (dancergirl45):
which equation
OpenStudy (anonymous):
I would just solve in your head. You said the choices you think are correct is b and d so for B
2(10)-5=?
OpenStudy (dancergirl45):
15

Mhmmmm c:
OpenStudy (dancergirl45):
but i already know it is 15
OpenStudy (dancergirl45):
I just dont know which equation to do because they both lead to right answers
OpenStudy (anonymous):
The "x" in f(x) just means what number is filled in for the x in the equation.
OpenStudy (dancergirl45):
ok so the 2nd one and the answer is 25

it would be B as
2 x 10 = 20
20 - 5 = 15
OpenStudy (anonymous):
Let me check and make sure I am correct as I haven't done this in a very long time.
OpenStudy (dancergirl45):
ok
OpenStudy (dancergirl45):
because you fill x in with 15 so 2*15 is 30 -5=25
OpenStudy (anonymous):
You need the equation on the right of the equal sign to equal 15, So if you put 10 in for x in f(x) then you get 15.
