Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Define

Identify

f(x) = 4x + 5

f(-3) is x = -3 for f(x)

Step 2: Evaluate

1. Substitute in x [Function f(x)]:                                                                          f(-3) = 4(-3) + 5
2. Multiply:                                                                                                             f(-3) = -12 + 5
3. Add:                                                                                                                   f(-3) = -7
