The given expression is


f(n)=3n-7

Now, we need to find f(5) - f(4). In other words, we need to find the value of the function when n=5 and n=4, then we subtract them.

Finding f(5)


f(5)=3(5)-7=15-7=8

Finding f(4)


f(4)=3(4)-7=12-7=5

Then, we subtract to get the answer


f(5)-f(4)=8-5=3

Therefore, the answer is 3.
