#f(-3)=-4#

Simply substitute the value of #-3# given. In other words, #f(-3)# is the function of #f(x)#, however in this case, #x# is #-3#

#f(-3)=2(-3)+2#

Distribute #2# through the parenthesis

#f(-3)=-6+2#

Simplify

#f(-3)=-4#

#-4#

We can substitute #-3# for #x# and simplify:
#f(x)=2x+2#
#f(-3)=2(-3)+2#
#f(-3)=-6+2#
#f(-3)=-4#
So #f(-3)=-4#.
