These are two separate problems: in the first we will have to substitute in a new value for x into the original equation and in the second we will manipulate the preexisting equation for f(x).

To begin, we will sub in f(x/3). To do this, we will substitute each variable x in the equation (in this case there is only one) with x/3, and then simplify the resulting equation.

f(x) = 6x - 18

f(x/3) = 6(x/3) - 18

To simplify, we should distribute the 6 on the right side of the equation.

f(x/3) = 6x/3 - 18

Now, we can divide the first term on the right side to finalize our simplification.

f(x/3) = 2x -18

Secondly, we are asked to find f(x)/3. To do this, we will take our original value for f(x), and then simplify divide that entire function by 3.

f(x) = 6x - 18

f(x)/3 = (6x-18)/3

This means that we must divide each term of the binomial by 3, so we are really computing

f(x)/3 = 6x/3 - 18/3

We can simplify by dividing both of the terms.

f(x)/3 = 2x - 6

Therefore, your answer is that f(x/3) = 2x - 18, but f(x)/3 = 2x - 6. It is important to recognize that these are two similar, yet different, answers.

Hope this helps!

In order to find the amount left after both sisters ate the cereal, we have to add the amount of cereal the two sisters ate.

Katrina ate 1 3/4 and her sister ate 7/8.

(1 3/4 + 7/8)

(you put a parentheses around it so that you add the two first before subtracting it from the original amount)

Then, we would subtract it from the original amount: 12 1/2.

-> The equation would be: 12 1/2 - (1 3/4 - 7/8).
