Remark
I would have had the answer a whole lot sooner if I would have read the question properly. The figure in the circle is called a cyclic quadrilateral. It has the odd property that the angles that are opposite each other add up to 180o.
So DEB + DCB = 180o
DEB = 180 - 87
DEB = 93o
Note: The arcs marked 60 and 76 have nothing whatever to do with this problem.
Plug in 10 for x in h(x) then simplify
h(10)=2(10)-8
h(10)=20-8
h(10)=12
h(10) is 12 so put 12 in for g(x)
g(h(10))=12-4
g(h(10))=8
Here’s everything together
g(h(10))=(2(10)-8)-4
=(20-8)-4
=(12)-4
=8
This is what I’ve always done. I can’t really tell what your answers are so sorry if this isn’t right at all.

A could be 2 while B could be 3, so -2a+3b turns into -4+9, which equals 5.
From what I know you can't really solve a a single equation with two-variables so it's just a matter of trial and error.
Just try plugging in a small number like 2 for a just to try it and you get 8b^2=72.
Divide everything by 8 to isolate b and you get that b^2=9.
Square root everything and you'll find that b=3. This is just one possible combination, I'm sure there are many more but this is obviously the one that was intended to be found.
Now that we know that a=2 and b=3 just plug them into the equation.
-2(2)+3(3)=?
-4+9=?
5
Sorry about having to use this ^ symbol, the equation maker is not working.
920,438. 921,438-1,000=920,438
