Answer:


a=7.5

Explanation:

Given the function
f(x)=6x-15 and the output
30 when
x=a, we can write the equation:


6a-15=30


6a=45


a=7.5

We can insert the value of
a into the function to verify the output equals
30:


f(a) = 6a-15


= 6(7.5)-15


=30

∴ We have verified that
a=7.5

Hope this helps :)
