Evaluating a function means finding the value of the function that corresponds to a given value of x. To do this, simply replace all the x variables with whatever x has been assigned.

We want to evaluate x = - 1 on the function


f(x)=7(9-2)-4

Since the function doesn't depend on x, the function evaluated at x = - 1 will be


f(-1)=7(9-2)-4=7(7)-4=49-4=45
