To subtract: (3g - 4) - 2 (3g + 4), we can use the Distributive Property to simplify the expression.
First, distribute the -2 to both terms inside the parentheses:
(3g - 4) - 2 (3g + 4) = 3g - 4 - 2(3g) - 2(4)
Next, simplify each term:
= 3g - 4 - 6g - 8
Combine like terms:
= (3g - 6g) + (-4 - 8)
= -3g - 12
So, the simplified expression is -3g - 12.
