g(x)-f(x)= 2x-8

So first you would wite the equation for f(x) and g(x) as listed above:

F(x)-g(x)

Plug in values

5x-10-3x+2

Simplify

2x-8

Hey there!

Your given numbers (f(x)=y; g(x)=y)


  1. \bold{f(x)=3x+2}

  2. \bold{g(x)=5x-10}

Steps to find out your answer


  • \bold{g(x)-f(x)=[5x-10]-[3x+2]}

  • \bold{g(x)-f(x)=[5x-3x]+[(-10)-2]}

  • \bold{g(x)-f(x)=2x-12}

Solve those and you will find out your answer to this equation/question

  • Thus,
    \boxed{\boxed{\bold{Answer:g(x)-f(x)=5x-12-3x}}}

Good luck on your assignment and enjoy your day!
