Question

Subtract: (3g−4)−2(3g+4)
.(1 point)

Answer 1

To subtract the expression \( (3g - 4) - 2(3g + 4) \), we'll begin by distributing the -2 across the second term:

1. Distribute -2:
\[
(3g - 4) - 2(3g + 4) = (3g - 4) - (6g + 8)
\]

2. Combine the expressions:
\[
= 3g - 4 - 6g - 8
\]

3. Combine like terms:
- Combine the \( g \) terms: \( 3g - 6g = -3g \)
- Combine the constant terms: \( -4 - 8 = -12 \)

4. Write the final result:
\[
-3g - 12
\]

So, the result of the subtraction is:
\[
-3g - 12
\]
