HELP OPEN STUDY! I don't know what I am doing wrong. f(x) = -5x - 6 and g(x) = -2x + 6. Find - f(x) + g(x) I combine like terms and get -7 but my teacher said it was wrong. How?

OpenStudy (mertsj):

- f(x)=5x+6 g(x)=-2x+6 When you add the two you get 3x+12

OpenStudy (anonymous):

How did you get that?

OpenStudy (mertsj):

Which part of my explanation do you not understand?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Hey sorry I just saw you turned f into positive

OpenStudy (mertsj):

Well, you wrote - f(x) Was that right or not?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yes
