Question

Given the parent functions f(x) = 3x + 2 and g(x) = 5x − 10, what is g(x) − f(x)?
@Salmon

Answer 1

Anyways.

g(x) = 5x- 10
f(x) = 3x + 2

(5x-10) - (3x+2)
what do you get?

Answer 2

you need to distribute the -1 to (3x+ 2)
first and then combine the terms

Answer 3

−2(x−6)

Answer 4

er, not quite.

5x - 10 - (3x+2)
becomes
5x - 10 - 3x - 2
do it from here.

Answer 5

ok 2x-12

Answer 6

yes.

Answer 7

if you were asked to simplify it further it would be
2(x-6)

Answer 8

oh ok

Answer 9

then

Answer 10

that's your final answer
2x - 12

Answer 11

g(x) − f(x) = 5x − 8 − 3x

g(x) − f(x) = 5x − 12 − 3x

g(x) − f(x) = 3x − 8 − 5x

g(x) − f(x) = 3x + 12 − 5x
these are the options @shamil98

Answer 12

it's b.

Answer 13

how

Answer 14

(5x-10) - (3x+2)
right?

so
5x - 10 - 3x - 2
all your option did was simplify the -10-2
giving you
5x - 12 - 3x

Answer 15

ohhh thank you sooooo much
