Question

.(1 point)

Answer 1

To subtract \( (3g - 4) - 2(3g + 4) \), follow these steps:

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

2. Now substitute this back into the original expression: \[ (3g - 4) - (6g + 8) = 3g - 4 - 6g - 8 \]

3. Combine like terms: \[ (3g - 6g) + (-4 - 8) = -3g - 12 \]

So, the final answer is: \[ -3g - 12 \]
