If you differentiate g(x)  with respect to x, what do you get?

Right so if you integrate g'(x) what do you get?

I understand its finding the area between 2 and 3, and that I know that the points are (2,4), and (3,5), so would the area be 4.5? then -1 so 3.5?

Yes you probably are,

Can you answer now or do you want me to keep going?

Actually the integral of  g'(x) is g(x) plus c  but since this is a definite integral you do not need to worry about the c. (it cancels out)

Keep going sorry, I already thought of this but my sleep deprived mind has been doing too many of the "Find the volume of a solid by rotating said 2d function around an axis too cope with a simple 3 point problem apparently.

yeah I almost put g(x) + C but thought of that lol

$$\displaystyle \int_2^3(g'(x)-1)dx\\~\\ =\displaystyle \int_2^3(g'(x))dx+\displaystyle \int_2^3(-1)dx\\~\\ =\displaystyle \left[ g(x) \right]_2^3+\displaystyle \left[ -x \right]_2^3$$

you should be able to finish it from there.  Tell me what you get.

oh my god, wait it would just be (5-4)-(3-2) right, so just 0?

ahhhh, okay well my thought process was integral means the g(3) - g(2) + (-3+2). Is this wrong?

oh okayyy you had me freaked out for a sec LOL
