Evaluate the function at the three values of the range and see what you get. The appropriate choice is ...
... D) {15, 3, 0}
_____
Evaluation can sometimes be simpler if you rearrange the function to a form called "Horner's form."
... f(x) = (x -4)x +3
Then the evaluation looks like (for x=-2) ...
... f(-2) = (-2-4)(-2)+3 = (-6)(-2) +3 = 12 +3 = 15
This is sufficient to identify D as the answer of choice.
Let's represent the number of hours with the variable 'h' (or whatever letter you want it to be):
265 + 48h = 553
Substract both sides by 265:
48h = 288
Divide:
h = 6
