Answer

$g(2)-f(0)=12$

Work Step by Step

Substituting $ x=2 $ in the given function, $ g(x)=|-3x-1| ,$ then \begin{align*}\require{cancel} g(2)&=|-3(2)-1| \\&= |-6-1| \\&= |-7| \\&= 7 \end{align*} Substituting $ x=0 $ in the given function, $ f(x)=2x-5 ,$ then \begin{align*}\require{cancel} f(0)&=2(0)-5 \\&= 0-5 \\&= -5 \end{align*} Using the results above, then \begin{align*} g(2)-f(0)&=7-(-5) \\&= 7+5 \\&= 12 \end{align*} Hence $ g(2)-f(0)=12 .$
