Please help!!!!?:(The function b(x) = 2x − 5 determines how many bags of dog food need to be purchased for an animal shelter, where x is the number of dogs at the shelter. The shelter manager uses m(b(x)) to find the amount of money to bring for the dog food purchase. The function m(x) = 3x + 1. Solve for how much money to bring when there are 10 dogs in the shelter.

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

m(b(10) = m(15) = ?
