Answer:
![f(x) = 4x+5\\f(4)=4x+5\\f(4)=4(4)+5\\f(4)=16+5\\f(4)=21](https://img.qammunity.org/2023/formulas/mathematics/college/ccsn59c7wj0gsnkqsqc4p2d9pzv036thvf.png)
Explanation:
The x in
is the number you plug into the x spot. think of f(x) like y.
but it's y that tells you what x is supposed to be.
for example:
![y=mx+b\\f(x)=mx+b\\f(x)=4x+5\\f(3)=4(3)+5\\f(4)=4(4)+5\\f(5)=4(5)+5](https://img.qammunity.org/2023/formulas/mathematics/college/1cn693v89j4otkllj9vsv1anjif9x047yg.png)
So you can say that f(any number) is a place holder for the y that tells you what x is supposed to be plugged in.
