I think Alexa would be since .3 is a larger number than .03
f(x)=5x-3
use the substitution method
f(5)=(5)(5)-3
multiply the parentheses first
using: PEDMAS
P=Parentheses
E= Exponents
D=Division
M=Multiplication
A= Addition
S=Subtraction
(5)(5)=25
25-3
=22
answer:
f(5)=22
X = boy count
x + 14 = girl count
x +x +14 = 86
2x + 14 = 86
2x = 72
x = 36
x + 14 = 50
There are 36 boys and 50 girls. Hope this helps!
