What is the value of g[f(3)] for the functions f(x) = 3x – 5 and g(x) = x + 1?
I won't do it for you.  Instead I'll do one exactly like this one, 
and just change the numbers:

What is the value of g[f(4)] for the functions f(x) = 4x – 7 and g(x) = x + 3?
            First find f(4) by substituting x=4 in f(x) = 4x - 7

                       f(x) = 4x - 7
                       f(4) = 4(4) - 7
                       f(4) = 16 - 7
                       f(4) = 9

Now g[f(4)] is equal to g(9).  So we find g(9) by substituting x=9 
in g(x) = x + 3.

                       g(x) = x + 3
                       g(9) = 9 + 3
                       g(9) = 12.

So g[f(4)] = g(9) = 12.

Do yours the exact same way.

Change the given equation into slope-intercept form. 3x + 4y = 12
I'll do this one instead:

Change the given equation into slope-intercept form. 4x + 5y = 20
                                4x + 5y = 20
                                     5y = -4x + 20
     Divide every term by 5
                                    5y%2F5 = %28-4%29%2F5x + 20%2F5
                                      y = -4%2F5x + 4
Do yours the exact same way.
