Answer:

f(-3)= -3

Explanation:

We are given the function:

f(x) = 2x+3

and asked to find f(-3). Essentially, we want to find f(x) when x is equal to -3.

Therefore, we can substitute -3 for each x in the function.

f(x)= 2x+3 at x= -3

f(-3)= 2(-3) +3

Solve according to PEMDAS: Parentheses, Exponents, Multiplication, Division, Addition and Subtraction

Multiply 2 and -3.

f(-3) = (2*-3) +3

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

Add -6 and 3.

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

f(-3)= -3

If f(x)= 2x+3, then f(-3)= -3
