Concept:

Here, we need to understand the idea of evaluation.  

When encountering questions that gave you an expression with variables, then stated: "If x = a, y = b, z = c" (a, b, c are all constants), this means you should substitute the value given for each variable back to the expression.

Solve:

Given

(x² - 4) / 3x

x = 5

Substitute the value of x

[(5)² - 4) / 3(5)

Simplify exponents

(25 - 4) / 3(5)

Simplify numerator with subtraction and denominator with multiplication

21 / 15

Simplify by division

7/5 = 1.4

Hope this helps!! :)
