A function is a relation in which each input value (x-value) has one and only one output value (y-value).

You have the following Linear function:


j\mleft(x\mright)=4x+11

According to the explained in the problem, you must find an input value that gives you 13 as the output value. Knowing this, you can say that:


j(x)=13

Substitute this value into the given function:


\begin{gathered} j(x)=4x+11 \\ 13=4x+11 \end{gathered}

The final step is to solve for "x".

Therefore, the value of "x" so that the function has the given value 13, is:


\begin{gathered} 13-11=4x \\ 2=4x \\ (2)/(4)=x \\ \\ x=(1)/(2) \end{gathered}
