You just substitute the value of x in the given equation:
f(x) = 2x^2 - 5
f(-4) = 2 (-4)^2 -5 = 27
f(x) : a name given to the equation
f(-4): refer to the equation when the value of the independent variable x has the value between the brackets.
So, let's look at the problem once again.
8%, or 8/100 of the bag were green jelly beans.
Let's see what we can do to find out a number of other jelly beans, not including the green ones.
We know that 92% of jelly-beans are not green.
92% is 11.5 times more than 8%
(92/8)
24 (or 8%) times 11.5 = 276
276 - number of jelly beans that are not green.
276 plus 24 = 300.
Answer: 300 jelly beans were in one bag.
