Question

How do you find `p(-6)` given `p(x)=3x`?

Answer 1

See the entire solution process below:

Explanation:

Substitute `color(red)(-6)` for each occurrence of `color(red)(x)` and then calculate.

`p(color(red)(x)) = 3color(red)(x)`

Becomes:

`p(color(red)(-6)) = 3 xx color(red)(-6)`

`p(color(red)(-6)) = -18`
