Answer:
-9x² + 25
Step-by-step explanation:
To solve, use FOIL. FOIL:
First
Outside
Inside
Last
Solve "First":
(3x)(-3x) = -9x²
Solve "Outside":
(3x)(-5) = -15x
Solve "Inside":
(-5)(-3x) = +15x
Solve "Last":
(-5)(-5) = +25
Combine like terms:
-9x² - 15x + 15x + 25
-9x² (-15x + 15x) + 25
-9x² + 25
-9x² + 25 is your answer.

To answer items such as this, we directly substitute the a + 2 to the all the x's in the function such that,
f(a + 2) = (3 + a + 2) / (a + 2 - 3)
Simplifying the function generated above,
f(a + 2) = (5 + a) / (a - 1)
