Answer as a fraction: x = 5/2
Answer in decimal form: x = 2.5
=====================================================
Step-by-step explanation:
Replace f(x) with 5
So we go from f(x) = 2x to 5 = 2x
Now isolate x. We do so by dividing both sides by 2 (this undoes the multiplication of 2 on x)
So we get
5 = 2x
5/2 = 2x/2 ... divide both sides by 2
5/2 = x
x = 5/2
x = 2.5
