Explanation

Answer: A

PROBLEM

If f(x) = 3x + 3 and g(x) = 3x + 3, find f(g(6)).

If f(x) = 3x + 3 and g(x) = 3x + 3, find f(g(6)).

A.

66

✓ Correct
B.

67

C.

64

D.

65

Detailed Explanation

Choice A is the best answer. g(6) = 3(6) + 3 = 21. f(21) = 3(21) + 3 = 66

Why others are wrong:
B: 67 is incorrect because it does not satisfy the equation.
C: 64 is incorrect because it does not satisfy the equation.
