Explanation

Choice A is correct. It's given that the function f is defined by fx=5x+8. Substituting 58 for fx in this equation yields 58=5x+8. Subtracting 8 from both sides of this equation yields 50 = 5 x . Dividing both sides of this equation by 5 yields 10 = x . Therefore, the value of x when fx=58 is 10 .

Choice B is incorrect and may result from conceptual or calculation errors.

Choice C is incorrect and may result from conceptual or calculation errors.

Choice D is incorrect. This is the value of f58, not the value of x when fx=58.
