[QUOTE="TBItoy, post: 529488, member: 1384"] x can't equal an equation that contains x. because x always equals x.... if you said "x=6x-5" and the value of x is 2, you end up with 2=6(2)-5... which would mean 2=7.... which is obviously not true. maybe think of it this way, "f" is how far you can drive in your truck, with any amount of gas "x". If your truck gets 12 miles per gallon, you would say: " I can drive 12 times how ever many gallons of gas I put in my truck", simplified as 12 times "x" ................... so "12x" so f(x)=12x If x=2, you can drive 24 miles. If x=100, you can drive 120 miles. We make "functions" and "equations" all the time in daily life, it's just the way that they are put on paper that confuses people if they haven't had to take any "higher level" math. [/QUOTE]
