ANSWER

f(f(f(x - 1))) = x + 5

Step-by-step explanation

We have the function:

f(x) = x + 2

First, let us find f(x - 1). To do that, replace x with x - 1:

f(x - 1) = x - 1 + 2

f(x - 1) = x + 1

To find f(f(x - 1)), we need to replace the value of x in the function with the value of f(x - 1).

That is:

f(f(x - 1)) = f(x + 1) = x + 1 + 2

f(f(x - 1)) = x + 3

To find the value of f(f(f(x - 1))), we replace the value of x in the function with the value of f(f(x - 1)):

f(f(f(x - 1))) = f(x + 3) = x + 3 + 2

f(f(f(x - 1))) = x + 5

That is the answer.
