So you have to solve f / g times - 3

Well, it's telling you - 3=x so now the equation is f (-3) divided by g (-3)

That just means you plug in - 3 to the equations you have, SO:

f (x) = 6 (-3) + 8 / g (x) = - 3 - 2

f (x) = - 18 + 8 / g (x) = - 5

f (x) = - 10

-10/-5 = 2, because 2 negatives equals a positive
