Step-by-step explanation:
many things are possible.
the only thing we must not do is mixing the addition elements with the multiplication elements.
but we could change the expression to
3×(3×8) + 5
or
5 + (3×3)×8
or
5 + (3×8)×3
and so on, and it would always be the same result.
As the line raises from left to right, the slope must be positive, so only the function, f(x)=x-3, has a slope greater than zero. Additionally, at x=0, the y-value is at, or around, -3, confirming that f(x)=x-3 is the correct solution.
