Question

Evaluate f(x)=12 for the function f(x)=5(x-3)+17

Answer 1

Answer:

x = 5

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the function;

f(x) = 5(x-3) + 17

And f(x) = 12

Thus;

5(x-3) + 17 = 12

Expanding the bracket gives;

5x - 15 + 17 = 12

5x + 2 = 12

5x = 12 - 2

5x = 10

x = 10/2

x = 5

Thus,for f(x) = 12, x has to be 5
