If  f(x + 3) = 2x^2  − 3x + 5. find   f(5)

$$\mathrm{If}\:\:\mathrm{f}\left(\mathrm{x}\:+\:\mathrm{3}\right)\:=\:\mathrm{2x}^{\mathrm{2}} \:−\:\mathrm{3x}\:+\:\mathrm{5}.\:\mathrm{find}\:\:\:\mathrm{f}\left(\mathrm{5}\right) \\ $$

way 1  let: x+3=a→a−3=x,then  f(a)=2(a−3)^2 −3(a−3)+5  f(a)=2(a^2 −6a+9)−3a+9+5  f(a)=2a^2 −15a+32  f(x)=2x^2 −15x+32  f(5)=2×5^2 −15×5+32  f(5)=7     way 2  x+3=5→x=2  f(5)=2×2^2 −3×2+5  f(5)=8−6+5=7
