If (p(x)=7-2x), what is the value of (p(-3))?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: \(13\)
Substituting \(x=-3\), we get \(p(-3)=7-2(-3)=7+6=13\). Therefore, the correct value is \(13\). The option \(-13\) may result from handling the signs incorrectly. Exam tip: always substitute a negative value using brackets.
