Here's one way....
f(x) = ax4 - bx2 + x + 5 Plug in -x for x .
f(-x) = a(-x)4 - b(-x)2 + (-x) + 5 (-x)4 = x4 and (-x)2 = x2
f(-x) = ax4 - bx2 - x + 5 Rearrange.
f(-x) = ax4 - bx2 + 5 - x Add x and subtract x .
f(-x) = ax4 - bx2 + x + 5 - x - x Substitute f(x) in for ax4 - bx2 + x + 5 .
f(-x) = f(x) - x - x Plug in 3 for x .
f(-3) = f(3) - 3 - 3 Substitute 2 in for f(-3) and solve for f(3) .
2 = f(3) - 3 - 3
2 = f(3) - 6
8 = f(3)
