Final answer:

To solve the proportion <6>/(6b+4)=(2)/(b-4), we cross-multiply and solve for b, which results in b = -16/3 or -5 1/3.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the result of the operation h(n) - g(n) when h(n) = n + 1 and g(n) = n + 2, you need to subtract g(n) from h(n). Let's perform the subtraction step by step:

  • Write down the functions: h(n) = n + 1, g(n) = n + 2
  • Subtract g(n) from h(n): h(n) - g(n) = (n + 1) - (n + 2)
  • Combine like terms: h(n) - g(n) = n + 1 - n - 2
  • Cancel n terms: n - n = 0
  • Final result: h(n) - g(n) = 1 - 2
  • Simplify: h(n) - g(n) = -1
  • Therefore, the result of the operation h(n) - g(n) is -1.
