Answer:


(f - g)(x)  = x - 3

Explanation:

The notation "(f - g)(x)" means we subtract the function "g" from the function "f". The resulting expression is the answer.

So, we have:

f(x) = 3x - 2

and

g(x) = 2x + 1

Thus,


(f - g)(x) = (3x - 2) - (2x + 1)\\(f - g)(x) = 3x - 2 -2x - 1\\(f - g)(x)  = x - 3

This expression is the correct form of "(f - g)(x)"
