Question

Subtract the following polynomials, then place the answer in the proper location on the grid.

Answer 1

Let's do this problem column by column, and assume that we are subtracting the 2nd expression from the first:

 2x^2
-3x^2
---------
 -1x^2

Next:

   5x
-(-1x)
-------
   6x

And last:

-10
 - 9
-----
-19

So, the difference between the 1st and the 2nd equations is

-x^2 + 6x -19 (answer)
