7 + 2(x - 3) + 5x
= 7 + 2x - 6 + 5x <em>distributed 2 into x - 3</em>
= 7 - 6 + 2x + 5x <em>grouped like terms together</em>
= 1 + 7x

A
evaluate f(5) and f(2)
f(5) = 5m + b and f(2) = 2m + b, hence
f(5) - f(2) = 5m + b - 2m - b = 3m
the expression simplifies to
= 2 ( cross- multiply )
3m = 6 ( divide both sides by 3 )
m = 2 → A
