problem

There are real numbers aa and bb for which the function ff has the properties that f(x)=ax+bf(x) = ax + b for all real numbers xx, and f(bx+a)=xf(bx + a) = x for all real numbers xx. What is the value of a+ba+b?
Plain-text mathematical notation (without MathML)
There are real numbers a and b for which the function f has the properties that f(x)=ax+b for all real numbers x, and f(bx+a)=x for all real numbers x. What is the value of a+b?
Original LaTeX notation
There are real numbers $a$ and $b$ for which the function $f$ has the properties that $f(x) = ax + b$ for all real numbers $x$, and $f(bx + a) = x$ for all real numbers $x$. What is the value of $a+b$?
