Composing functions means that the input of the outer functions is the output of the inner function.
In fact, you can rewrite the circle notation as

So, we can substitute g(x) with its expression:

And since f(x)=x+5, we simply have to add 5 to its input:

Similarly, we have, substituting f with its expression,

And since g(x)=4x+2, we have to multiply the input by 4 and add 2:

This is an equation, you can't write equations as decimals. I think you're asking for x (as a decimal)?
Add 8 to each side: 4+8= 8+(-8)+3x
12=3x
x=4
This is a whole number so it's already in decimal form
