Question

Describe and correct the error in evaluating the function g(x)=-5x+3 when x=-3

g(-3)=-5(-3)+3
-3g=18
g=-6

Answer 1

g is not a variable .
so this is incorrect:
-3g=18

Answer 2

g(-3) means yo plug x in g(x)=-5x+3 ( x is the independant varaible) ===> g(-3) = -5(-3) +3=15+3=18

Answer 3

g(-3)=18
