Answer

So, the composition of the functions h(g(4)) = $\boxed{10}$.

Steps

Step 1 ：Let's first find the value of g(4). Substitute x = 4 into the function g(x) = 3x + 4, we get g(4) = 3*4 + 4 = 16.

Step 2 ：Now, substitute g(4) = 16 into the function h(x) = x - 6, we get h(16) = 16 - 6 = 10.

Step 3 ：So, the composition of the functions h(g(4)) = $\boxed{10}$.
