2g+5=19
it implies: g=7.
Therefore, f(3-g)= 3-g+5
=3-7+5
=1.
I hope this is correct.

Explanation
The main function is \(f(x) = x + 5\). The notation \(f(2g)\) indicates that you should plug \(2g\) in for all instances of x: \(f(2g) = 2g + 5\), which is also given as 19. If \(2g + 5 = 19\), then \(2g = 14\), and \(g = 7\).
The question asks for the value of \(f(3 - g)\), which is \(f(3 - 7) = f(-4) = -4 + 5 = 1\).
