Question

F(x) = 8x – 2

g(x) = 9x + 2

What is h(x) = f(x) – g(x)?

h(x) = 17x + 14
h(x) = x + 4
h(x) = –x – 4
h(x) = –x + 14

Answer 1

h(x) = -x - 4

Explanation:

Given:

f(x) = 8x - 2

g(x) = 9x + 2

Substituting these values into the equation h(x) = f(x) - g(x)

h(x) = (8x - 2) - (9x + 2)

Simplify

h(x) = 8x - 2 - 9x - 2

Combining like terms

h(x) = (8x - 9x) - (2 + 2)

h(x) = -x - 4

Hope this helps.
