Determining whether Composition of Functions is Commutative

Avg difficulty 2.5

Using the functions provided, find f( g( x ) ) f \left(g \left(x\right)\right) and g( f( x ) ). g \left(f \left(x\right)\right) . Determine whether the composition of the functions is commutative.

f(x)=2x+1g(x)=3−x f \left(x\right) = 2 x + 1 g \left(x\right) = 3 - x
