Subtract polynomials: $ \, \color{blue}{ 55 } \, $ , $ \, \color{orangered}{ 5 }$.
Answer
$$ \color{blue}{55} - \color{orangered}{5} = 50 $$
Explanation
Step 1: Write second polynomial below the first one. Making sure like terms are lined up.
$$ \begin{array}{lr} & 55 \\ \color{red}{ - } & 5 \\ \hline \end{array} $$Step 2: Change ALL the signs in the second row.
$$ \begin{array}{lr} & 55 \\ \color{red}{ - } & -5 \\ \hline \end{array} $$Step 3: Combine like terms (add each column):
$$ \begin{array}{lr} & 55 \\ \color{red}{ - } & -5 \\ \hline & 60 \end{array} $$This page was created using
