    Just replace "x" with the value in the parenthesis. I'll do the first two:

    A) g(0) = 0 + 1 = 1

    B) g(-4) = -4 + 1 = -3

    A tip for future math (and hopefully clarification): the value in the parenthesis does not have to be a number. For example you could have:

    g(y+z) = (y+z) + 1 = y + z + 1

    Hope this helps!
