You need to first substitute 6 for x in the g(x) equation
What would that get you?
OpenStudy (iwik):
g(x)=2
rebeccaxhawaii (rebeccaxhawaii):
no it would be -2
rebeccaxhawaii (rebeccaxhawaii):
because 6-8=-2
rebeccaxhawaii (rebeccaxhawaii):
then plug -2 into the f equation

ok so f(x) = 6-2 + 12 =f(x)=16
rebeccaxhawaii (rebeccaxhawaii):
incorrect
OpenStudy (iwik):
wait f(x)=0?
rebeccaxhawaii (rebeccaxhawaii):
6(-2)+12
-12+12=0
therefore
f(g(x))=0
because you plug x into the g(x) equation first then your g(x)= -2 so then you plug -2 into the f(x) then that gives you your final answer
