    Put g°f = h;

    Then h = 3(-2x+8) = 24-6x;

    h(3) = 24-18 = 6;

    ( g o f ) (3) is another way of writing g( f(3) ).

    Start by calculating f(3):

    f(x) = -2x + 8 

    f(3) = -2(3) + 8 

    f(3) = -6 + 8

    f(3) = 2

    Then calculate g(2):

    g(x) = 3x 

    g(2) = 3(2)

    g(2) = 6
