I'll do part a) to get you started
f(x) = 5x-7
f(g(x)) = 5(g(x))-7 ... replace every x with g(x)
f(g(x)) = 5(5-x^2)-7 ... replace g(x) on the right side with 5-x^2 (valid because g(x) = 5-x^2)
f(g(x)) = 5(5-x^2)-7
f(g(x)) = 25-5x^2-7
f(g(x)) = -5x^2+18
Now plug in x = -1
f(g(x)) = -5x^2+18
f(g(-1)) = -5(-1)^2+18 ... replace every x with -1
f(g(-1)) = -5(1)+18
f(g(-1)) = -5+18
f(g(-1)) = 13
I leave part b) for you.
