Answer: f(3) = 14

Concept:

Here, we need to understand the idea of evaluation.

When encountering questions that gave you an expression with variables, then stated: "If x = a, y = b, z = c" (a, b, c are all constants), this means you should substitute the value given for each variable back to the expression.

Solve:

Given function

f(x) = 4x + 2

Substitute value of the x into the expression

f(3) = 4(3) + 2

Simplify by multiplication

f(3) = 12 + 2

Simplify by addition

f(3) =
\boxed{14}

Hope this helps!! :)

Please let me know if you have any questions
