Answer:


f(g(-2))=-134

Explanation:

So we have the two functions:


f(x)=7x+6\text{ and } g(x)=8x-4

And we want to find f(g(-2)).

First, let's find g(-2):


g(-2)=8(-2)-4

Multiply:


g(-2)=-16-4

Subtract:


g(-2)=-20

Now, substitute:


f(g(-2))=f(-20)

Now, find the value of f(-20):


f(-20)=7(-20)+6

Multiply:


f(-20)=-140+6

Add:


f(-20)=-134

So:


f(g(-2))=-134

And we're done!
