You can put this solution on YOUR website!
It's a bit hard to read the table, but I assume the data is by column. So, the first column is the x and the second column is f(x). Third column is x; fourth g(x)
You are asked to find g(f(3)
from column 1, x=3 yields f(3) = 2
Taking 2 and going down column three (using 2 as the x value in column three), we see that g(2) = -3
