Question

Please explain to me how to solve this problem and what would be the correct answer answer asap!!!

Answer 1

Given
f(x)= -3x - 5
g(x)= 4x - 2

Find
(f - g)(x)
substitute the f and g values in (f - g)

(f - g)(x)= -3x - 5 - (4x - 2)
change the signs in parentheses because there is a negative sign in front of the parentheses

(f - g)(x)= -3x - 5 - 4x + 2
combine like terms

(f - g)(x)= -7x - 3


ANSWER: (f - g)(x)= -7x - 3

Hope this helps! :)
