Substitute x with −18: Substitute x with −18 in the function h(x). We need to replace x with −18 in the function h(x)=17+6x to find the value of h(−18). h(−18)=17+6(−18)
Simplify the fraction: Simplify the fraction(−18)/6.Divide −18 by 6 to simplify the fraction.(−18)/6=−3
Add to 17: Add the result from Step 2 to 17.Now we add −3 to 17 to find the value of h(−18).h(−18)=17+(−3)
Calculate final value: Calculate the final value.Adding 17 and −3 gives us the final value of h(−18).h(−18)=14
