Answer: False.

Step-by-step explanation

As we are asked to find h(h(g(x))), then, we have to replace all the x in h(x) over the function g(x), and then replace this expression in h(x). Thus, to solve this we can find first h(g(x)):


h(g\mleft(x\mright))=6(13x-2)

Simplifying:


h(g(x))=78x-12

Next, we have to replace this expression in h(x):


h\mleft(h(g(x)\mright)=6(78x-12)
h\mleft(h(g(x)\mright)=468x-72

As 468x – 72 ≠ 39x - 13, then it is false.
