Question

If f(x)=3x-2,find f(8)-f(-5)

Answer 1

To find both f(8) and f(-5), we will need to plug in their values for x and solve for each. Then, we can subtract them to find the final answer.

Finding f(8):

f(8) = 3(8) - 2

f(8) = 24 - 2

f(8) = 22

Finding f(-5):

f(-5) = 3(-5) - 2

f(-5) = -15 - 2

f(-5) = -17

Subtracting f(8) and f(-5):

f(8) - f(-5)

22 - - 17

22 + 17

39

Hope this helps!! :)
