Recalling the Procedure for Evaluating Linear Functions
Imagine you are training a new operations assistant at your company. The assistant is using the work hours estimation function , where represents the number of daily inventory shipments. The assistant needs to evaluate this function for a modified schedule of shipments, representing one additional shipment.
Describe the complete step-by-step mathematical procedure to evaluate based on the original function . In your explanation, recall and specify:
- The exact algebraic substitution that must be performed (including the use of grouping symbols).
- The algebraic property used to distribute the coefficient.
- The final simplified expression.
Be clear and detailed so the assistant can follow your instructions.
