Question

Given functions f and g, find f-g.

Answer 1

Answer:

$-5x-5$

Step-by-step explanation:

original functions:

$f(x)=3x-8\\g(x)=8x-3$

Subtract the polynomials:

$f(x)-g(x) = (3x-8) - (8x-3)$

Distribute the negative sign:

$3x-8-8x+3$

Combine like terms:

$(3x-8x)+(-8+3)$

Add like terms:

$-5x-5$
