Answer

So, $(f-g)(x) = \boxed{-2x^2 + 2x + 4}$

Steps

Step 1 :Given the functions $f(x)=x+1$ and $g(x)=2x^{2}-x-3

Step 2 :We are asked to find $(f-g)(x)$, which means we need to subtract $g(x)$ from $f(x)$

Step 3 :Subtract each term in $g(x)$ from the corresponding term in $f(x)$

Step 4 :This gives us $-2x^{2} + 2x + 4$

Step 5 :So, $(f-g)(x) = \boxed{-2x^2 + 2x + 4}$
