Answer:

(D)(f-g)(x)=|7x-1|-6

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the functions f(x) and g(x) defined as follows:


\begin{gathered} f\mleft(x\mright)=|7x-1|-8 \\ g\mleft(x\mright)=-2 \end{gathered}

We want to find the expression (f-g)(x).


\begin{gathered} \mleft(f-g\mright)\mleft(x\mright)=f(x)-g(x) \\ =|7x-1|-8-(-2) \\ =|7x-1|-8+2 \\ (f-g)(x)=|7x-1|-6 \end{gathered}

The correct choice is D.
