Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
f(x) = 2/3 x + 3
x = 9
f(9) = 2/3 * 9 + 3 Divide 9 by 3
f(9) = 2 * 3 + 3 Combine 2 * 3
f(9) = 6 + 3 Combine
f(9) = 9 The answer is just a coincidence. The answer for the next one shouldn't be - 3
f(-3) = 2/3 *(-3) + 3 Divide 3 into - 3
f(-3) = 2*(-1) + 3
f(-3) = -2 + 3
f(-3) = 1
How was this done?
You should observe that whatever value you see on the left in the brackets, appears where the x is on the right. This is a very important concept. You should do your best to understand it because algebra is sort of based on it.
