Let's solve ~

First we have to calculate g (-5) :


\qquad \tt \dashrightarrow \:x - 8


\qquad \tt \dashrightarrow \: - 5 - 8


\qquad \tt \dashrightarrow \: - 13

Now, let's find f (g (-5)) :


\qquad \tt \dashrightarrow \: {x}^(2) + 6x


\qquad \tt \dashrightarrow \:( - 13) {}^(2) + (6 * - 13)


\qquad \tt \dashrightarrow \:169 + ( - 78)


\qquad \tt \dashrightarrow \:169 - 78


\qquad \tt \dashrightarrow \:91
