Answer 1

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

General Formulas and Concepts:

Pre-Algebra

• Distributive Property

Algebra I

• Combining like terms

Explanation:

Step 1: Define

f(x) = 4x - 8

g(x) = x - 2

(f - g)(x) is f(x) - g(x)

Step 2: Find

1. Substitute: (f - g)(x) = 4x - 8 - (x - 2)
2. Distribute negative: (f - g)(x) = 4x - 8 - x + 2
3. Combine like terms: (f - g)(x) = 3x - 6
