    - - It'll be a lot easier if you clean up the function first.

    You're not changing the function. You're just making it

    easier to read and work on without mistakes.

    Notice that 3x3=9, so the function is f (x) = 9 - 4x + 5

    Combine like terms, and the function is f (x) = 14 - 4x.

    Much easier to work with.

    - - Now, when somebody tells you to evaluate the function for some number,

    just take their number, write it in place of 'x', and see what you've got.

    Example:

    f (x) = 14 - 4x

    Evaluate f (x) for x = 3.

    - - Write 3 in place of 'x' in the function: f (3) = 14 - 4 (3)

    - - 4 (3) = 12. So the function is f (3) = 14 - 12

    - - Finish up the subtraction : f (3) = 2

    You just evaluated f (x) for x=3.

    Nice job!
