Show answers and working
  1. 1. 11

    Replace x with 6: 3 × 6 − 7. = 11

  2. 2. 24

    Replace x with 3: 6 × 3 + 6. = 24

  3. 3. 18

    Replace x with 4: 5 × 4 − 2. = 18

  4. 4. 18

    Replace x with 5: 4 × 5 − 2. = 18

  5. 5. 7

    Replace x with 2: 2 × 2 + 3. = 7

  6. 6. 20

    Replace x with 6: 2 × 6 + 8. = 20

  7. 7. -1

    Replace x with 2: 2 × 2 − 5. = -1

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.
