By changing their exponent to negative.
Ex.
The answer is 20 because you plug in x=2 into f(x)

Move the decimal so that there is one whole number.
0.00000482 => 4.82
We moved 6 units to the left so:
4.82 * 10^-6
Answer:
(f- g)(x) = x - 3
Step-by-step explanation:
(f- g)(x) = f(x) - g(x)
This means that you have to subtract the two equation.
If f(x) = 3x - 2 and g(x) = 2x + 1
Then
f(x) - g(x) = [3x - 2] - [2x+1]
= 3x - 2- 2x - 1
= x - 3
∴ (f- g)(x) = x - 3
mathematically the answer to that is 18 because 10.2 minus 2.4 is equal to the difference of 7.8 and 7.8 plus 10.2 is equal to the sum of exactly and positively 18
