Question #N1006
The function \(f(x)\) is defined by \(f(x) = 2x - 3\). If \(f(a) = 11\), what is the value of \(a\)?
A. 2
B. 7
C. 11
D. 17
Correct Answer is: B
To solve for a, we substitute 11 for f(a) in the equation f(x) = 2x - 3. This gives us 11 = 2a - 3. Adding 3 to both sides of the equation gives 14 = 2a. Dividing both sides of the equation by 2 gives a = 7.
