To subtract the expression (3g - 4) - 2(3g + 4), we need to distribute the 2 to the terms inside the parentheses first. So, we have:
(3g - 4) - 2(3g + 4) = 3g - 4 - 2 * 3g - 2 * 4
Next, we can simplify by multiplying:
= 3g - 4 - 6g - 8
Now, let's combine like terms:
= (3g - 6g) - (4 + 8)
= -3g - 12
Therefore, the simplified expression is -3g - 12.
Subtract: (3g - 4) - 2(3g + 4)
