I think it would be g - (8+9+4).

Simplified form: g-21

Logan Pittman · Answer 2

g-21

Step-by-step explanation:

First you would want to add all of the hours traveled already. Since g would be the total amount of house that Greg would need to drive to get to his destination you would subtract the amount of hours traveled from g. 8+9+4=21, 21 hours traveled already. The expression would be g-21.
