If I understand this right...
f(x) = x2 + 5x + 2
f(x) is a function, in this case a function of x. Using this function, you can say...
f(g) = g2 + 5g + 2
f(pi) = pi2 + 5pi + 2
All we're doing is substituting whatever's in the brackets on the other side. Thus...
f(2) = 22 + 5*2 + 2

5x plus 3 does equal 3 plus 5x; commutative law.
You find x. Oh! There it is!! ^ See?
-186/5
Rearrange for y, let f(x) = y, and find the derivative of f(x) with respect to x: 5x + 3y = -2 y = -(5x+2)/3 = f(x) df/dx = -5/3
The answer to the math problem of 5x plus 12 equals 93-4 is 77/5.
