Answer:
g(x) is shifted 6 units to the left
Step-by-step explanation:
Lets try to simplify g(x) since has a few extra terms:
g(x)= 3x+12-6=3x+6
Now it is easier to compare the two functions.
We can tell that they both have the same slope, both differs on a extra term
This term tell us that the g(x) is shifted to the left (it is positive 6)
Another approach to the solution is to plot the two functions together by obtaining the crossing points with the 'y' axis and with the 'x' axis
the result is shown in the attached picture
