ANSWER

f(g(1)) = 11

Step-by-step explanation

We are given that:

f(x) = 2x + 7

and

g(x) = -3x + 5

We want to find f(g(1)).

To do this, we have to find the value of g(x) when x = 1 and then put that value into f(x):

g(x = 1) = g(1) = -3(1) + 5

g(1) = -3 + 5

g(1) = 2

Now, put x = 2 in f(x):

f(g(1)) = f(x = 2) = f(2) = 2(2) + 7

f(g(1)) = 4 + 7

f(g(1)) = 11
