How do you subtract polynomial expressions? Please use (5g^2 + 6g - 10) - (2g^2 + 2g + 9) as the example equation

+5

(5g^2 + 6g - 10) - (2g^2 + 2g + 9)      distribute the negative sign across the terms in the second set of parentheses, and we have

 

5g^2 + 6g - 10  - 2g^2 - 2g - 9      now, just combine like terms

 

[5g^2  - 2g^2] + [6g - 2g] - 10  - 9

 

3g^2 +  4g  - 19

 

 

 

cool cool cool
