Given
f(x)= -3x - 5
g(x)= 4x - 2
Find
(f - g)(x)
substitute the f and g values in (f - g)
(f - g)(x)= -3x - 5 - (4x - 2)
change the signs in parentheses because there is a negative sign in front of the parentheses
(f - g)(x)= -3x - 5 - 4x + 2
combine like terms
(f - g)(x)= -7x - 3
ANSWER: (f - g)(x)= -7x - 3
Hope this helps! :)
