Answer:

24

Explanation:

To find f(#) or g(#), plug the number into each x of the equation.

f(x) = -x + 5

f(2) = -(2) + 5

Simplify the parentheses by multiplying.

f(2) = -2 + 5

Add.

f(2) = 3

g(x) = 3x + 2

g(2) = 3(2) + 2

Simplify the parentheses by multiplying.

g(2) = 6 + 2

Add.

g(2) = 8

Now they are asking you to multiply

f(2) • g(2)

3 • 8

= 24

Hope this helps!
