Answer:

see explanation

Explanation:

To evaluate f(g(x)) substitute x = g(x) into f(x)

f(g(x))

= f(3x - 4)

= 2(3x - 4) + 1

= 6x - 8 + 1

= 6x - 7

---------------------------------------------

To evaluate g(f(x)) substitute x = f(x) into g(x)

g(f(x))

= g(2x + 1)

= 3(2x + 1) - 4

= 6x + 3 - 4

= 6x - 1
