This problem involves the "evaluation" of an equation at a given x- or y-value.

The equation is y = 4x + 32; this states that "dependent variable" y depends upon (is a function of) "independent variable" x.  Given that x=7, re-write this equation using 7 in place of x.   Write out your equation here.  Then, simplify this result.
