Math Problem Statement

f(x)=5− 3/7 (-7)

Solution

The given function is:

f(x)=537×(7)f(x) = 5 - \frac{3}{7} \times (-7)

First, let's simplify the expression 37×(7)\frac{3}{7} \times (-7):

37×(7)=3\frac{3}{7} \times (-7) = -3

Now, substitute this into the function:

f(x)=5(3)f(x) = 5 - (-3)

This simplifies to:

f(x)=5+3=8f(x) = 5 + 3 = 8

Thus, the simplified form of the function is:

f(x)=8f(x) = 8

This means that the function f(x)f(x) is a constant, and it evaluates to 8 for any value of xx.
