Given the functions:

f(x) = 8x - 6

g(x) = (x + 6)/8

The expression (g ∘ f)(x) means replacing the "x" value in the g(x) function with the f(x) value.

Therefore, we have:


\begin{gathered} g(x)=(x+6)/(8) \\ \text{Substitute x with f(x).} \\ g(x)=((8x-6)+6)/(8) \\ \text{Simplify the function.} \\ g(x)=(8x)/(8) \\ g(x)=x \end{gathered}
