Answer:
-9 is your answer for b.
Step-by-step explanation:
Note the equal sign, what you do to one side, you do to the other. Also note the rule that if you have a positive sign & a negative sign next to each other, the resulting sign would be negative:
b + (-17) = -26
b - 17 = -26
Isolate the variable (b). Add 17 to both sides:
b - 17 (+17) = -26 (+17)
b = -26 + 17
Simplify:
b = -26 + 17
b = -9
-9 is your answer for b.

Remember the rules:
Addition sign + Positive number = Add (Ex: 7 + 7 = 14)
Addition sign + Negative number = Subtract (Ex: 7 + (-7) = 7 - 7 = 0)
Subtraction sign + Positive number = Subtract (Ex: -3 + 4 = 4 - 3 = 1)
Subtraction sign + Subtraction sign = Add (Ex: 5 - (-5) = 5 + 5 = 10)

Answer:
The function is "f(x) = 5*x"
Step-by-step explanation:
Everytime we add a number to the independent variable of a function, in this case x, there'll be a common factor between the variable and a pure number. To solve this problem we need to make "(x + 3)" appear. Since we have "f(x+3)" we need to first factor the common denominator. We have:
f(x + 3) = 5*(x + 3)
Therefore,
f(x) = 5*x
