There is no problem with evaluating the expression at $x = -3$ ; doing so will give us the value of the limit.

$L = lim_(x to -3) 3x +2$

$L = 3(-3) +2$

$L = -7$

$-7$

$"the limit can be evaluated by direct substitution"$

$rArrlim_(xto-3)3x+2=-9+2=-7$

How do you find the limit of 3x+23x+2 as x->-3x->-3?
