32 x 74 = 2368
23 - 72 = -49
2368 + 49 = 2417
2417 = ?
Answer:
5 should be subtracted from each term
Step-by-step explanation:

Cross multiply,
1 * (11 - x) = 2*(8-x)
11 -x = 2*8 - 2*x
11 - x = 16 - 2x
Subtract 11 from both sides,
-x = 16 - 2x - 11
-x = 5 - 2x
Add 2x to both sides
-x +2x = 5 - 2 + 2x
x = 5
A.) -13
b.) 17
c.) 80
d.) 1
All your doing is substituting x for the number in the parenthesis and matching it with the correct function. For example, f(-3) would be 2(-3)-7 which is equal to -6-7 which is -13.
