Question

Evaluate 3(x-1)+2 when x= 5

Answer 1

First, let's substitute x = 5 into the expression:
3(5-1) + 2

Next, let's simplify inside the parentheses:
3(4) + 2

Now, let's multiply 3 by 4:
12 + 2

Finally, let's add 12 and 2 together:
12 + 2 = 14

So, when x = 5, the value of 3(x-1)+2 is 14.

Answer 2

14
