How far away from the water station would the bikers be a) -5 miles
b) 5 miles
c) 11 miles
d) 16 miles
Answer this question:

the answer is -5

Step-by-step explanation:

you didn't upload the full question, but I still solved it

the equation is already set up in the question:

f(x) = x/4 - 8

x = minutes

or

x = 12

and we then put 12 instead of x

so, the equation will look like this:

f(x) = 12/4 - 8

then we solve

First step: f(x) = 12/4 - 8

We divide 12 by 4 to get 3.

f(x) = 3 - 8

Subtract 8 from 3 to get −5.

f(x) = -5

Here is the full question: David is helping support a charity bike race. he is in charge of putting in a water station for the bikers halfway between the start and finish lines. the function f(x) = x/4 - 8 models davids distance in miles from the water stand x minutes into the bike race. after 12 minutes,

How far away from the water station would the bikers be

a) -5 miles

b) 5 miles

c) 11 miles

d) 16 miles
