Show answers and working
  1. 1. -1

    Replace x with 1: 2 × 1 − 3. = -1

  2. 2. 7

    Replace x with 2: 2 × 2 + 3. = 7

  3. 3. -3

    Replace x with -4: 2 × (-4) + 5. = -3

  4. 4. -20

    Replace x with -2: 6 × (-2) − 8. = -20

  5. 5. -13

    Replace x with -3: 3 × (-3) − 4. = -13

  6. 6. 3

    Replace x with 2: 3 × 2 − 3. = 3

  7. 7. -10

    Replace x with -1: 5 × (-1) − 5. = -10

Common mistakes

What learners typically get wrong, and how to fix it.

  • Reads f(3) as f × 3.

    Correction: f(3) means 'put 3 into the rule'.

  • Reverses operations in the wrong order for the inverse.

    Correction: Undo the last step first.

Teacher tips

  • · Use function machines before notation.

Parent tips

  • · Play 'guess my rule' with numbers.

Real-life applications

  • · Converting temperatures, phone-plan costs.
