Question

Follow the rule to find the output for an input of –4.
output = input × 17

Answer 1

so we want to find the "output"

they gave us the rule and they gave us the input

they said:
output = input * 17
output equals input times 17


they tell you the input is -4, so what is the output?

so replace "input" with -4

output = -4 * 17

what is -4 * 17 = ??

that's your output
