If f of x is equal to 3 minus 2 x and g of x is equal to the fraction with numerator 1 and denominator x plus 5 , what is the value of open paren f over g close paren of 8 ?

Evaluate both functions at x = 8: f(8) = 3 − 2(8) = −13, and g(8) = 1/(8 + 5) = 1/13. Then (f/g)(8) = f(8)/g(8) = −13 ÷ (1/13) = −169. The correct choice is negative 169.
