You can put this solution on YOUR website!
f(c-5). If f(x)=-2x-3
\n" ); document.write( "------
\n" ); document.write( "1st:: Thank you for helping your son.
\n" ); document.write( "------
\n" ); document.write( "Your problem::
\n" ); document.write( "f(x) = -2x-3 describes a pattern
\n" ); document.write( "x is the starting point
\n" ); document.write( "Multiplication by -2 is the 1st step in the process
\n" ); document.write( "Subtracting 3 is the final step.
\n" ); document.write( "-----
\n" ); document.write( "F(c-5) means you are to have
\n" ); document.write( "c-5 as the starting point
\n" ); document.write( "Then multiply c-5 by -2 to get -2c+10
\n" ); document.write( "Then Subtract 3 to get -2c+10-3 = -2c + 10 - 3 = -2c+7
\n" ); document.write( "------
\n" ); document.write( "What you are doing is putting c-5 in the place of \"x\".
\n" ); document.write( "f(c-5) = -2(c-5)-3
\n" ); document.write( "f(c-5) = -2c+10-3
\n" ); document.write( "f(c-5) = -2c+7
\n" ); document.write( "------------
\n" ); document.write( "Hope that helps.
