1. The problem describes a function $b(x) = 2g(x) - 5$ and states a limit situation. 2. It says that as the input to $b(x)$ approaches 6 from either side (from values less than 6 and greater than 6), the output values of $b(x)$ get closer and closer to $-17$. 3. In words, this limit can be expressed as: "The limit of $b(x)$ as $x$ approaches 6 is $-17$." 4. Using limit notation, this is written as: $$\lim_{x \to 6} b(x) = -17.$$
