Given f(x)=6x-5 a) Evaluate f(2) f(2)=square b) Solve f(x)=-17 x=square

a) To evaluate $f(2)$, we need to substitute $x=2$ into the function $f(x)=6x-5$.<br /><br />$f(2)=6(2)-5$<br />$f(2)=12-5$<br />$f(2)=7$<br /><br />So, $f(2)=7$.<br /><br />b) To solve $f(x)=-17$, we need to set the function $f(x)=6x-5$ equal to -17 and solve for $x$.<br /><br />$6x-5=-17$<br />$6x=-12$<br />$x=-2$<br /><br />So, the solution to $f(x)=-17$ is $x=-2$.
