Since we are evaluating f(<em>x</em>) for f(2), we would substitute <em>x</em> in the equation with 2. The second grouping (-2<em>x</em> + 8, if -5 ≤ <em>x</em> < 6) would be the only true statement since <em>x</em> (or 2) would be greater than -5 but less than 6. Now that we know which equation is true, we can solve for the correct answer.
