Subtract polynomials: $ \, \color{blue}{ 8x+5 } \, $ , $ \, \color{orangered}{ 3x^2+4x-3 }$.
Answer
$$ \left( \color{blue}{8x+5} \right) - \left( \color{orangered}{3x^2+4x-3} \right) = -3x^2+4x+8 $$
Explanation
Step 1: Write second polynomial below the first one. Making sure like terms are lined up.
$$ \begin{array}{lrrr} & & 8x & 5 \\ \color{red}{ - } & 3x^2 & 4x & -3 \\ \hline \end{array} $$Step 2: Change ALL the signs in the second row.
$$ \begin{array}{lrrr} & & 8x & 5 \\ \color{red}{ - } & -3x^2 & -4x & 3 \\ \hline \end{array} $$Step 3: Combine like terms (add each column):
$$ \begin{array}{lrrr} & & 8x & 5 \\ \color{red}{ - } & -3x^2 & -4x & 3 \\ \hline & 3x^2 & 12x & 2 \end{array} $$This page was created using
