I'll do part A) to get you started

A)

f%28x%29=-%282%2F3%29x+%2B3

f%283%29=-%282%2F3%29%283%29+%2B3

f%283%29=-%282%2F3%29%283%2F1%29+%2B3

f%283%29=%28-2%2A3%29%2F%283%2A1%29+%2B3

f%283%29=%28-6%29%2F%283%29+%2B3

f%283%29=-2+%2B3

f%283%29=1

Part A. Substitute 3 in place of and do the arithmetic.
