Answer:

f(3) = -11

f(-5) = 37

Explanation:

f(x) = -6x + 7

We want to find f(3) and f(-5)

To do so we substitute the input with any x in the equation and evaluate.

f(3) = -6x + 7

==> substitute all x's with the input, 3

f(3) = -6(3) + 7

==> multiply -6 and 3

f(3) = -18 + 7

==> add -18 and 7

f(3) = -11

f(-5) = -6x + 7

==> substitute all x's with the input -5

f(-5) = -6(-5) + 7

==> multiply -6 and -5

f(-5) = 30 + 7

==> add 30 and 7

f(-5) = 37
