Finding Constants for a Piecewise Defined Function

[Mille89]

hi(Smile)
I need some start help finding the two constants a and b:

Do i start like this?:
$$\lim_{{x}\to{6-}} (20) = \lim_{{x}\to{6+}} (8x+a)$$View attachment 8782

Hi, and welcome to the forum.

If you need the function to be continuous, then yes.

You can typeset your formulas by enclosing them in $$...$$ tags (button with $\sum$ on the toolbar) or dollar signs.
