5/11 because if you simplify starting at 40/88 you get 5/11
Answer:
3x - 6
Step-by-step explanation:
To evaluate f(2x) and f(x + 2) substitute x = 2x and x = x + 2 into f(x)
f(2x) = 3(2x) - 2 = 6x - 2
f(x + 2) = 3(x + 2) - 2 = 3x + 6 - 2 = 3x + 4
Thus
f(2x) - f(x + 2)
= 6x - 2 - (3x + 4)
= 6x - 2 - 3x - 4
= 3x - 6
