Find ff(x) in terms of a and b then proceed to compare coefficients, derive some equations in terms of a and b, then solve them.

I believe it's a^2x + ab + b = 9x - 28
But I don't know where to go from there

Equate the coefficients of x and the constant term.

So if you had then you'd have and . In this case, you have . So what can you get?

Compare the coefficients of and because they must be equal to each other on both sides.
7. Can anyone help me with equating the coeffients? I'm rusty and just don't know how to move forward with it

There is literally an example above my post. Use it, it isn't a complicated technique and makes sense.

The text passage is a discussion thread from a student forum, where a student is asking for help with a C3 Functions question and other users are providing guidance and hints.
no_question

the passage does not contain a direct mathematical question that can be answered with a specific numerical or algebraic solution. instead, it is a conversation where a student is seeking help and others are providing steps and suggestions on how to solve a problem. the problem itself (finding ff(x) in terms of a and b and solving for a and b) is mentioned, but no specific question is asked that can be answered directly.
Given a text passage, determine:
    1. If it contains a mathematical question (including word problems or calculations)
    2. If an answer to that mathematical question is provided in the text

First, describe the content structure you found in 1-2 sentences.

Then provide your analysis in the following format:
TYPE: <one of the following values>
- NO_QUESTION
- SINGLE_QUESTION
- SINGLE_QUESTION_WITH_ANSWER
- MULTIPLE_QUESTIONS
- MULTIPLE_QUESTIONS_WITH_ANSWERS
