    f(x) = 2x-5

    ff(x) means plug "f(x) =" into where the x is in the equation.

    ff(x) = 2(2x-5)-5

    ff(x) = 4x - 10 - 5

    ff(x) = 4x - 15

    An x intercept is the point on the graph where y = 0.

    Let y = 0.

    0 = -6x + 10

    6x = 10

    x = 5/3

    So the point of X intercept would be (5/3, 0)

    The x intercept is just where the line crosses zero. So make y in the equation zero and solve for x.

    y=-6x+10 evalute at y=o

    0=-6x+10

    6x=10

    x=10/6=5/3

    Part I: f(x) = 2x -5

    f(2x - 5) = 2(2x - 5) - 5

    = 4x -10 - 5

    = 4x - 15

    ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Part II: Solve this equation in terms of x instead of y...

    y = -6x + 10

    y - 10 = -6x

    (y - 10) / -6 = x

    Therefore, the x intercept of this equation is (y - 10)/ -6
