The problem asks to evaluate $f(2)$ for the function $f(x) = 3x - 1$.

To solve this:

1. Substitute $x = 2$ into the function $f(x) = 3x - 1$. $f(2) = 3(2) - 1$
2. Simplify: $f(2) = 6 - 1 = 5$

Thus, $f(2) = 5$. The answer provided in the box is correct.

1. Evaluate $f(4)$ for $f(x) = 3x - 1$.
2. If $f(x) = 5x + 2$, find $f(3)$.
3. Solve for $x$ if $f(x) = 11$ and $f(x) = 3x - 1$.
4. If $f(x) = ax - b$, find $f(2)$ when $a = 4$ and $b = 3$.
5. Find the derivative of $f(x) = 3x - 1$.

Tip: Always double-check substitution and arithmetic to avoid small mistakes.
