Answer:

D. -12x + 18

Explanation:

f(x) = -6x +5; g(x) = 2x + 8

[g o f](x) = g(f(x))

this means that in g(x), everywhere there's an x, f(x) replaces it. [g o f](x) is represented at the following: (f(x) is in bold)

g(f(x)) = 2(-6x +5) + 8 distribute the 2 to (-6x + 5)

g(f(x)) = -12x + 10 + 8 combine like terms

g(f(x)) = -12x + 18
