To find \( f(3) \) for the function \( f(x) = 7x + 6 \), we will substitute \( x = 3 \) into the function. Here are the steps:
-
Start with the function:
\[ f(x) = 7x + 6 \] -
Substitute \( x = 3 \):
\[ f(3) = 7(3) + 6 \] -
Calculate \( 7(3) \):
\[ 7 \times 3 = 21 \] -
Now, add 6 to this result:
\[ f(3) = 21 + 6 \] -
Finally, calculate the sum:
\[ f(3) = 27 \]
So, \( f(3) = 27 \).
