Step-by-step explanation:

Part A + B

Step 1: Define

Identify.

f(x) = 9x - 7

Step 2: Find

f(4)

1. Substitute in x [Function f(x)]:                                                                          f(4) = 9(4) - 7
2. [Order of Operations] Evaluate:                                                                      f(4) = 29

f(-2)

1. Substitute in x [Function f(x)]:                                                                          f(-2) = 9(-2) - 7
2. [Order of Operations] Evaluate:                                                                      f(-2) = -25

Part C

Step 1: Define

Identify.

9x - 7 = 65

Step 2: Solve for x

1. [Addition Property of Equality] Add 7 on both sides:                                     9x = 72
2. [Division Property of Equality] Divide 9 on both sides:                                 x = 8

Answer 2

Answer:

f(4)=29

f(-2)=-25

x=8

Step-by-step explanation:

a. to find f(4), you need to substitute x with 4...

f(4)=9(4)-7

f(4)=36-7

f(4)=29

b. This is the same for f(-2)

f(-2)=9(-2)-7

f(-2)=-18-7

f(-2)=-25

c. 9x-7=65

      +7    +7 to cancel the 7 out and to isolate the x

9x=72

      divide both sides by 9

x=8

So basically f(8)=65
