can someone help explain the steps to this problem? I'm stuck

Answer 1

HI!!!

Answer 2

hello :)

Answer 3

put a minus sign between them, use parentheses

Answer 4

\[f(x)-g(x)=-2x+4-(-6x-7)\] is the first step

Answer 5

so (-2x+4) - (-6x-7) ?

Answer 6

yeah that

Answer 7

then distribute the minus sign on the right parentheses

Answer 8

thats what I thought, okay

Answer 9

and finally combine like terms

Answer 10

Answer 12

(-2x+4)-(-6x-7)
-2x+4+6x+7
