To find f - g, we need to subtract g(x) from f(x) for all values of x.

f(x) = 3x + 6

g(x) = 6x + 3

f(x) - g(x) = (3x + 6) - (6x + 3)

Simplifying the right-hand side by distributing the negative sign:

f(x) - g(x) = 3x + 6 - 6x - 3

Combining like terms:

f(x) - g(x) = -3x + 3

Therefore, f - g is equal to -3x + 3.
