The result of subtracting the polynomials (6x2 – X + 8) – (x2 + 2) is 5x^2 – x + 6
The subtraction of the polynomials is given as:
(6x2 – X + 8) – (x2 + 2) =
Rewrite the above expression properly as:
(6x^2 – x + 8) – (x^2 + 2) =
The next step is to open the brackets.
Start by opening the first bracket (here the signs remain the same)
6x^2 – x + 8 – (x^2 + 2) =
Next, we open the second bracket (here the sign changes, because of the minus outside the bracket)
So, we have;
6x^2 – x + 8 – x^2 - 2 =
Next, we collect the like terms
6x^2 – x^2 – x + 8 - 2 =
Subtract x^2 from 6x^2
5x^2 – x + 8 - 2 =
Subtract 2 from 8
5x^2 – x + 6
Hence, the result of subtracting the polynomials (6x2 – X + 8) – (x2 + 2) is 5x^2 – x + 6
