if g(x) and f(x) are inverse of each other
than g(2) means that 2 is the y value of f(x)
so
2 = (3x-7)/(x+1)
2(x+1) = 3x-7
2x+2 = 3x - 7
x = 9
so g(2) = 9

y = f ( x ) = 3 x 7 x + 1
to find the inverse of f(x):
y(x+1) = 3x-7
xy + y = 3x - 7
xy - 3x = -7 - y
x(y-3) = -(7+y)
x = ( 7 + y ) y 3
g ( x ) = ( 7 + x ) x 3
g ( 2 ) = 7 2 2 3 = 9
