Peck · Answer 1

f (12) = 36 is a possible solution and makes sense for this function.

Step-by-step explanation:

To achieve solution of (12,36) for this function the function must be exactly like following:

f (x) = 3x

In this case it is inferred that each player approximately made 3 basket each. It is know that one basketball team has 12 members (included players on the bench). Therefore, if we put 12 instead of x the function is going to be like;

f (12) = 36
