Please help with this problem. I did -3(-5)-15/(-5) and got an answer of -6 but I'm unsure if it's correct or not. Thank you in advance for helping.

we have the function


\begin{gathered} g(y)=(y-15)/(y) \\ h(y)=-3y \end{gathered}

step 1

Evaluate g(5)

For y=5

g(5)=(5-15)/5

g(5)=-10/5

g(5)=-2

step 2

we have that

h(g(5))=h(-2)

For y=-2

h(-2)=-3(-2)

h(-2)=6

therefore

the answer is 6
