#-104/41" or "-169#

Explanation:

#"there are 2 possible solutions here depending on what"#
#"you mean"#

#"that is "g(x)=1/x+5" or "1/(x+5)#

#(f/g)(x)#

#=(f(x))/(g(x))#

#=(3-2x)/(1/x+5)#

#rArr(f/g)(8)=(3-16)/(1/8+5)=-13xx8/41=-104/41#

#color(red)"OR"#

#=(3-2x)/(1/(x+5))#

#rArr(f/g)(8)=(-13)/(1/13)=-13/1xx13/1=-169#
