Answer:

Yes, it's true that:


f(g(x))=x

Explanation:

To evaluate:


f(g(x))

We take g(x) and plug it in wherever there's an x in f(x), as following:


\begin{gathered} f(x)=x+8 \\ \\ \rightarrow f(g(x))=(x-8)+8 \\ \\ \Rightarrow f(g(x))=x \end{gathered}

This way, we can conlcude that, indeed:


f(g(x))=x
