#3#

Explanation:

Find (g○h)(x) = g(h(x)) to begin with.

#g(h(x))=g(color(red)(-3x+2))#

#color(white)(g(h(x)))=(color(red)(-3x+2))^2+4+2(color(red)(-3x+2))#

#color(white)(g(h(x)))=9x^2-12x+4+4-6x+4#

#color(white)(g(h(x)))=9x^2-18x+12#

#rArr(g￮h)(1)=(9xx1^2)-(18xx1)+12#

#color(white)(rArr(g￮h)(1))=9-18+12#

#color(white)(rArr(g￮h)(1))=3#
