Hope This Helps

Answer 2

10x^2 -13x +6

Explanation:

(7x^2 − 5x + 2) − (−3x^2 + 8x − 4)

Distribute the negative sign

(7x^2 − 5x + 2) + 3x^2 - 8x + 4

I like to line them up vertically. The powers line up under each other.

7x^2 − 5x + 2

+ 3x^2 - 8x + 4

--------------------------

10x^2 -13x +6
