It would be 2x+11 because if we plug in (x+2) into 2x+7 then it would be 2(x+2)+7 and if we follow our order of operations then we would get an answer of 2x+11

The answer is:

↬ f(x + 2) = 2x + 11

Work/explanation:

To evaluate the function, plug in x + 2 for x:


\boxed{\large\begin{gathered}\sf{f(x)=2x+7}\\\\\bf{distribute}\\sf{f(x+2)=2(x+2)+7}\\\\\bf{simplify}\\\sf{f(x+2)=2x+4+7}\\\\\sf{f(x+2)=2x+11}\end{gathered}}

Hence, f(x +2) = 2x + 11.
