(f-g)(x) = -x - 14 (option C)

Step-by-step explanation:

f (x) = 4x - 8

g(x) = 5x + 6

(f-g)(x) means f(x) - g(x)

f(x) - g(x) = 4x - 8 - (5x + 6)

open the parnethesis:

Note: Multiplication of same sign gives positive number. Multiplication of opposite signs give negative number.

4x - 8 - (5x + 6) = 4x - 8 - 5x - 6

collect like terms:

f(x) - g(x)= 4x - 5x -8 - 6

f(x) - g(x) = -x - 14

(f-g)(x) = -x - 14 (option C)
