Question 1028690: Calculate r(c-3) when r(x)=x-1/3x+5
Answer by Theo(13342)   (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! you have r(x) = x - 1/3 * x + 5
if i read this equation correctly, then it can be simplified to:
r(x) = 2/3 * x + 5, because x - 1/3 * x = 2/3 * x
so your equation becomes r(x) = 2/3 * x + 5.
you want to find r(c-3)
you replace x with (c-3) to get:
r(c-3) = 2/3 * (c-3) + 5
simplify this to get r(c-3) = 2/3 * c - 2/3 * 3 + 5
simplify further to get r(c-3) = 2/3 * c - 2 + 5.
this results in r(c-3) = 2/3 * c + 3.
