Answer:

 -31

Explanation:

f(x)=x²+x-12

or,f(-5)=(-5)²+(-5)-12

 =25-5-12

 =25-17

 =8

now, g(x)= -2x-15

 = (-2)×8-15

 = -16-15

 =-31

Answer:

g(f(- 5)) = - 31

Explanation:

to calculate g(f(- 5)), evaluate f(- 5) and substitute the value obtained into g(x)

f(- 5) = (- 5)² + (- 5) - 12 = 25 - 5 - 12 = 25 - 17 = 8 , then

g(8) = - 2(8) - 15 = - 16 - 15 = - 31
