**Problem:**

The gas tank in a truck holds \(14\) gallons. The truck uses gas at a rate of \(\frac{2}{5}\) gallons per mile. The amount of gas left after \(x\) miles is found by using the equation \(y = -\frac{2}{5}x + 14\).

1. Write the equation in function notation.
2. Then find \(f(50)\), \(f(150)\), and \(f(300)\).

**Instructions:**

- **Equation in Function Notation:**

\[ f(x) = -\frac{2}{5}x + 14 \]

- **Calculate the following:**

  - \(f(50)\): \_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_
  - \(f(150)\): \_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_
  - \(f(300)\): \_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_
