If f (x) = 3x + 5 and g (x) = x - 1, then g[f (-3) ] = ?

-3fg

Step-by-step explanation:

I can't tell exactly what you're trying to say but if you're trying to say:

g x (f x (-3)), then here's how you do it:

g x (f x (-3))

Multiplying a positive and a negative equals a negative: (+) x (-) = (-), then use the commutative property to reorder the terms.

g x (-f x 3)

g x (-3f)

Multiplying a positive and a negative equals a negative: (+) x (-) = (-), the use the commutative property to reorder the terms.

-g x 3f
