Answer:
C. {-1, 5, 8}
Step-by-step explanation:
Use each of the domain values in the function to see what the corresponding range value is.
f(-1) = 5 -3(-1) = 8
f(0) = 5 -3(0) = 5
f(2) = 5 -3(2) = -1
The range is the set of numbers {-1, 5, 8}.

<em>Additional comment</em>
The values in a set are generally listed lowest to highest. The coefficient of x in the equation for f(x) is negative, meaning the lowest range value will correspond to the highest domain value. If you start by finding f(2) = -1, you immediately eliminate all answer choices except B and C.
Those choices differ only in the middle value, so you can tell which is correct by evaluating f(x) for the middle domain value: f(0) = 5. Only one answer choice has both -1 and 5 in the set.
(There are two answers here: how you work the problem, and how you game a multiple choice question.)
Answer:
Reason given in step 2. is incorrect. It should read; "Distributive Property."
Step-by-step explanation:
The reason given to go from :
2 (3x +4) = 56 to 6x + 8 = 56
is NOT "Multiplication Property of Equality" because one is not multiplying both sides of the equality by a number. The property that is being used is the Distributive Property on the left side of the equation in order to remove the grouping symbols (parenthesis) performing the implied multiplication of the external factor times each term of the binomial in parenthesis.
Both have the same denominator
Remove the denominator
5=n
The answers should be: (-2,5), (-2,-2), (-6,-1), (2,1)
Hope this helped :)
