Question

When p2 – 4p is subtracted from p2 + p – 6, the result is

Answer 1

5p - 6

Explanation:

p² + p - 6 - (p² - 4p) ← distribute parenthesis by - 1

= p² + p - 6 - p² + 4p ← collect like terms

= 5p - 6

When
`\bf{p^2-4p}` is subtracted from
`\bf{p^2+p-6}`, the result is...?

`\Large\maltese\underline{\textsf{This problem has been solved!}}`

`\bf{Subtract:}`

`\bf{p^2+p-6-p^2-4p}`. | combine like terms

`\bf{p^2-p^2+p-4p-6}` | simplify

`\bf{0p^2-3p-6}` | simplify

`\bf{-3p-6}`

`\rule{300}{1.7}`

`\bf{Result:}`

`\bf{-3p-6}`
