The problem is about functions, specifically, replacing a given value.

The expression f(3a - 4) indicates that x = 3a - 4, so we need to replace the variable with this expression.


f(x)=5x+1\rightarrow5(3a-4)+1

As you can see, we changed the variable for the given expression. Now, we use the distributive property


f(3a-4)=15a-20+1

At last, we reduce like terms


f(3a-4)=15a-19

Therefore, the answer is 15a - 19.
