If (p(x)=16-5x), what is the value of (p(3))?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: 1
Substitute 3 for x: \(p(3)=16-5\times3=16-15=1\). Therefore, the correct answer is 1. The value 31 would result from adding \(16+15\), but the expression contains subtraction. Exam tip: after substituting the given value, perform multiplication before subtraction.
