The book has the solution but I can't seem to understand. Perhaps u can explain it in another way? thank u Answer by venugopalramana(3286) (Show Source):

LET F(X)=Y=(AX-B)/C
SO F(F(X))=F(Y)=(AY-B)/C=X
CX=AY-B=A(AX-B)/C -B = (A^2X-AB-BC)/C
C^2X=A^2X-AB-BC ..FOR THIS TO BE TRUE FOR ALL VALUES OF X ,IT SHOULD BE AN IDENTITY..HENCE COEFFICIENTS OF CORRESPONDING TERMS ARE EQUAL
COEFF.OF X =C^2=A^2 .C=+ OR -A OR |A|=|C|
CONSTANT TERM =0=-AB-BC=-B(A+C) .B=0 OR A=-C
SO THE ANSWER IS A=-C OR B=0&|A|=|C|
