Answer 1

Answer:

k(x) - h(x) = (3x + 7)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given functions are,

h(x) = x - 5

k(x) = 4x + 2

We have to find k(x) - h(x).

Step I

k(x) - h(x) = (4x + 2) - (x - 5)

Step II

Combine like terms,

k(x) - h(x) = (4x - x) + (2 + 5)

Step III

k(x) - h(x) = 3x + 7

Hence, k(x) - h(x) = (3x + 7) is the answer.
