Help i dont understand Pls help :(

x = 1?

Step-by-step explanation:

I think functions are basically just variables but extra so they both act the same. I'm not 100% sure but I Think

if f(x) = -5x + 1 when f(x) = 6,

replace f(x) with 6 so,

6 = 5x + 1

1 - 6 = 5x + 1 - 1

(subtract one on both sides to isolate the variable)

5 = 5x

5/5 = 5x/5

(to Actually isolate the variable lol

1 = x or x = 1

I believe is the answer? please comment if I'm wrong

*I WAS TOLD MY THOUGHT PROCESS IS WRONG ANYONE WHO SEES THIS PLEASE DISREGARD
