If you first define a function f as
$${f}{\left({\mathtt{x}}\right)} = {\mathtt{3}}{\mathtt{\,\times\,}}{{\mathtt{x}}}^{{\mathtt{2}}}{\mathtt{\,-\,}}{\mathtt{2}}{\mathtt{\,\times\,}}{\mathtt{x}}{\mathtt{\,\small\textbf+\,}}{\mathtt{5}}$$
then for any particular x the function f(x) has a value and you can write things such as
f(2) + f(0) - 4 = 14
