1. Problem Description

We are given the equation 2f(x)5x+3=4\frac{2f(x)-5}{x+3}=4 and asked to find f(x)f(x) as xx approaches
2.

2. Solution Steps

First, we solve for f(x)f(x) in terms of xx.
Multiply both sides of the equation by x+3x+3:
2f(x)5=4(x+3)2f(x) - 5 = 4(x+3)
2f(x)5=4x+122f(x) - 5 = 4x + 12
Add 5 to both sides:
2f(x)=4x+12+52f(x) = 4x + 12 + 5
2f(x)=4x+172f(x) = 4x + 17
Divide both sides by 2:
f(x)=4x+172f(x) = \frac{4x + 17}{2}
Now we can evaluate the limit as xx approaches 2:
limx2f(x)=limx24x+172\lim_{x \to 2} f(x) = \lim_{x \to 2} \frac{4x+17}{2}
Since the function is continuous at x=2x=2, we can substitute x=2x=2:
f(2)=4(2)+172f(2) = \frac{4(2) + 17}{2}
f(2)=8+172f(2) = \frac{8 + 17}{2}
f(2)=252f(2) = \frac{25}{2}

3. Final Answer

252\frac{25}{2}
