f(x) = -2+4 and g(x)=-6x-7. find f(x) - g(x). show all the steps that you use to solve this problem
-2x maybe, proofread maybe
f(x) = -2+4 is kind of silly, so Anonymous assumed you meant
f(x) = -2x+4
If so, then
f(x)-g(x) = (-2x+4)-(6x-7) = -2x+4-6x+7 = -8x+11
OH- yeah i meant -2x+4
thank you so much!!
To find f(x) - g(x), you need to substitute the given functions into the expression and simplify.
Given functions:
f(x) = -2 + 4
g(x) = -6x - 7
Step 1: Substitute the functions into the expression f(x) - g(x).
f(x) - g(x) = (-2 + 4) - (-6x - 7)
Step 2: Simplify the expression inside the brackets.
(-2 + 4) can be simplified to 2.
f(x) - g(x) = 2 - (-6x - 7)
Step 3: Distribute the negative sign to each term within the brackets.
-(-6x - 7) becomes 6x + 7.
f(x) - g(x) = 2 + 6x + 7
Step 4: Combine like terms.
2 + 6x + 7 can be simplified to 9 + 6x.
f(x) - g(x) = 9 + 6x
So, the simplified expression for f(x) - g(x) is 9 + 6x.
