Operation with Functions - h(n)=-3n+5, g(n)=-n^3+1 Find (h-g)(2n)

I got -8n^3-6n+4 as a solution, but none of those choices have that as the answer. What did i do wrong?

Thanks again! But why does -n^3 turn positive?

Since it is subtracted the double negative is equivalent to a positive.  Remember the distributive property of multiplication (the -1 in front of the quantity) over addition (the sum in the parentheses)?  Hope that helps!
