Answer:

f(g(4)) = -2

Explanation:

First, find g(4) by plugging in 4 as x into the function:

g(x) = 2x - 3

g(4) = 2(4) - 3

g(4) = 8 - 3

g(4) = 5

f(g(4)) can be found by finding f(5), since g(4) = 5

Find f(5) by plugging in 5 into the function:

f(x)= x - 7

f(5) = 5 - 7

f(5) = -2

So, f(g(4)) = -2
