Evaluating Linear Functions and Expressions

This video tutorial explains how to evaluate linear functions by substituting given numbers into the function equations. It covers two functions, f(x) and g(x), and demonstrates how to find outputs by replacing x with specific values. The tutorial also explores replacing variables with other linear functions, which is useful in real-world applications like cost or profit functions. The video concludes with an invitation for questions and suggestions for future topics.
