Answer: C

Explanation:

(fog)(3) is the same as finding f(g(3)). To solve, we first need to solve g(3). then, we solve for f(g(3)).

g(3)=5(3) [multiply]

g(3)=15

Now, we plug in 15 into f(x).

f(g(3))=-2(15)+8 [multiply]

f(g(3))=-30+8 [add]

f(g(3))=-22

Now, we know that C is the correct answer.
