f(x+y) = x + f(y) & f(0) = 5
Take x=100 & y=0
f(100+0) = 100 + f(0) = 100 + 5 = 105
f(100) = 105
Answer C
Take x=100 & y=0
f(100+0) = 100 + f(0) = 100 + 5 = 105
f(100) = 105

Given: f(x+y) = x + f(y)
What is the value of f(100)?
We need to somehow use the fact that f(0) = 5 to help us determine the value of f(100).
Notice that we can rewrite 100 as 100 + 0
According to our the function f, we know that: f(100 + 0) = 100 + f(0)
= 100 + 5
= 105
Answer: C
Cheers,
Brent
