Answer:

f(g(x))=6x-8

Explanation:

To keep it simple lets say if , for example


f(x)=2x-4

then f(2) would be what?


f(2)=2(2)-4\\f(2)=0

which means we plugged in x=2 in our f(x) this goes for same as the composite function
f(g(x)) where we plug in g(x) in f(x) and replace x with g(x). I'll show you


f(x)=2x-4\\g(x)=-3x+2\\

now we insert g(x) in f(x) cause we need f(g(x)) which means we replace x with the function g(x).


f(g(x))=-2(-3x+2)-4


f(g(x))=6x-4-4\\f(g(x))=6x-8

so that is our final answer.

Hope i helped
