The process of "solve" is to determine the value of the variable that makes the equation true. In this case a value is given. You want to "evaluate" the function.

If f(x), and f(2), then we replace x with 2. f(x) means that the f, the answer of the expression on the right, is a "function of x," referring to the effect of the variable. Essentially, saying f(2) (f is a function of 2), means that x=2.
