Question

when p2 – 4p is subtracted from p2 p – 6, the result is

Answer 1

When dealing with the subtraction of polynomials, only the coefficients with similar variables can be subtracted. Assuming the two polynomials are p^2 + p - 6 and p^2 - 4p, the subtraction is shown below:
   
   p^2 + p - 6
-  p^2 - 4p
------------------
          +5p - 6

Therefore, the difference would be 5p - 6.

Answer 2

Answer:

The resultant expression  is $5p-6$.

Step-by-step explanation:

The given expressions are

$p^2-4p$              .... (1)

$p^2+p-6$           ..... (2)

Subtract expression (1) from expression (2),

$p^2+p-6-(p^2-4p)$

$p^2+p-6-p^2+4p$

Combine like terms.

$(p^2-p^2)+(p+4p)-6$

$0+5p-6$

$5p-6$

Therefore, the resultant expression  is $5p-6$.
