Answer:

Part 1:
(11-x)/(5) or
(11)/(5)-(x)/(5)

Part 2:
(9)/(5)

Explanation:

To start things off, you must put everything on the opposite side of y so that you only have the y variable left.

In this case, put x onto the other side, making it negative since it's flipped, so you get
5y=11-x (since the x is negative you're using subtraction from 11).

Next, divide both sides by 5 to make 5y into y:


(5y)/(5) =(11)/(5)-(x)/(5)


y=(11)/(5)-(x)/(5)

Then in this case you turn y=f(x), but the system did it for you, so all you have to put is
(11)/(5)-(x)/(5).

For the second part you must replace x with 2 since you need to find f(2).


(11-2)/(5)

Your answer for part 2 is
(9)/(5).
