Prove that the composite function fg(2)=-26 where f(x)=3x+1 and g(x)=1-5x

Here, f(x) and g(x) are functions of x, whose output depends on the value of x.

fg(2) means fg(x) where x=2.

Firstly, calculate g(2) and use this answer as the new value of x for f(x).

g(2)=1-5(2)=-9.

f(-9)=3(-9)+1=-27+1=-26
