Answer: B

Step-by-step explanation:

Well, they told you what f(x) equals. So make the function of f(x) equal to the value they gave, 18

$18=9x+54$

Subtract 54 from both sides to get:

$-36=9x$

Divide both sides by 9 to get x = -4

Answer:

-4 =x

Step-by-step explanation:

ƒ(x) = 9x + 54

Let f(x) = 18

18 = 9x+54

Subtract 54 from each side

18-54 = 9x + 54-54

-36 = 9x

Divide each side by 9

-36/9 = 9x/9

-4 =x
