Answer:
(f-g)(x)
= -x^2 - 2x + 2
Step-by-step explanation:
(f-g)(x) means
f(x) - g(x)
= x - 2 - (x^2+3x-4)
distribute the subtraction to all three of the last terms.
= x - 2 - x^2 - 3x + 4
combine like terms
= -x^2 - 2x + 2

Answer:
commercial = 9
movie = 5
Step-by-step explanation:
Step one:
let the number of commercials be x and movies be y
so
40x+130y=1010-------------1
since there are a total of 14 commercials and movies combined
x+y=14--------------2
Hence the systems of equation is
40x+130y=1010------1
x+y=14-------------------2
Step two:
from equation 2
x=14-y
substui]te the value of x in equation 1
40(14-y)+130y=1010
560-40y+130y=1010
collect like terms
130y-40y=1010-560
90y=450
divide both sides by 90
y=450/90
y=5
movies is 90
put y=5 in equation 2
x+5=14
x=14-5
x= 9
commercial is 9 in numbers
and movie is 5
