A function rule takes an input, and converts it into an output, y, by decreasing twice the input by 4. what is the output for this rule when the input is 5?

Step-by-step explanation:

It is stated that a function rule takes an input, and converts it into an output, y, by decreasing twice the input by 4.

Let 'x' be the number

Decreasing twice the number 'x' by 4 = 2x-4

Now,

Given the input x = 5

As the output will decrease twice the input (x=5) by 4

Thus, the output = 2(5)-4 = 10-4 = 6

Therefore,
