Subtract: (3g — 4) —2 (3g +4)
To subtract this expression, we need to distribute the negative sign to each term within the second parentheses.
First, let's distribute -2 to (3g + 4):
-2 * 3g = -6g
-2 * 4 = -8
Now our expression becomes:
(3g - 4) - (6g + 8)
Next, let's distribute the negative sign to (6g + 8):
-6g - 8
Now our expression becomes:
3g - 4 -6g - 8
We can combine like terms:
(3g - 6g) - 4 - 8
-3g - 4 - 8
-3g - 12
Therefore, the subtracted expression is -3g - 12.
