I would assume that you subsitute as usual, but g is negative
(f-g)(x)=(3x+2)-(2x-2)
(f-g)(x)=3x+2-2x+2
(f-g)(x)=x+4

$f(x)=3x+2 \\
g(x)=2x-2 \\ \\
(f-g)(x)=f(x)-g(x)=3x+2-(2x-2)=3x+2-2x+2=\\
=x+4 \\ \\
\boxed{(f-g)(x)=x+4}$

The angle marked a = 75°. Work out the value of x. The diagram is not drawn accurately.

Answer:

x+75=180

x=180-75

x=105

Step-by-step explanation:

x and a are on a straight line

a straight line=180

so you add the x to a=180

Sin theta+costheta/sintheta -costheta+sintheta-costheta/sintheta+costheta=2sec2/tan2 theta -1

$\dfrac{sin\theta + cos\theta}{sin\theta-cos\theta}+\dfrac{sin\theta-cos\theta}{sin\theta+cos\theta}=\dfrac{2sec^2\theta}{tan^2\theta-1}$

From Left side:

$\dfrac{sin\theta + cos\theta}{sin\theta-cos\theta}\bigg(\dfrac{sin\theta+cos\theta}{sin\theta+cos\theta}\bigg)+\dfrac{sin\theta-cos\theta}{sin\theta+cos\theta}\bigg(\dfrac{sin\theta-cos\theta}{sin\theta-cos\theta}\bigg)$

$\dfrac{sin^2\theta+2cos\thetasin\theta+cos^2\theta}{sin^2\theta-cos^2\theta}+\dfrac{sin^2\theta-2cos\thetasin\theta+cos^2\theta}{sin^2\theta-cos^2\theta}$
