Find and simplify f(a+8) f ( a + 8 ) f(a+8) for the function f(x) =12x−7f ( x ) = 12 x - 7f(x) =12x7 .

A) f(a+8) =12a+48f ( a + 8 ) = 12 a + 48f(a+8) =12a+48
B) f(a+8) =89f ( a + 8 ) = 89f(a+8) =89
C) f(a+8) =12a+103f ( a + 8 ) = 12 a + 103f(a+8) =12a+103
D) f(a+8) =12a+89f ( a + 8 ) = 12 a + 89f(a+8) =12a+89
E) f(a+8) =12a+13f ( a + 8 ) = 12 a + 13f(a+8) =12a+13

Final Answer :
D
Explanation :
We substitute x=a+8x = a + 8x=a+8 into the function equation:
f(a+8)=12(a+8)−7=12a+96−7=12a+89.f(a+8) = 12(a+8) - 7 = 12a + 96 - 7 = 12a + 89.f(a+8)=12(a+8)7=12a+967=12a+89.
Therefore, the answer is choice D.
