Math Problem Statement

f(-7)=5-3/7 (-7)

Solution

Let's solve for f(7)f(-7).

The function given is: f(7)=537(7)f(-7) = 5 - \frac{3}{7}(-7)

First, simplify the fraction: 37(7)=3\frac{3}{7}(-7) = -3

Now substitute this into the equation: f(7)=5(3)f(-7) = 5 - (-3)

Simplify the expression: f(7)=5+3=8f(-7) = 5 + 3 = 8

So, f(7)=8f(-7) = 8.
