Question

Simplify
(5x^3y^2-4x^2y+2x)-(6x^3y^2-3x^2y+y)

Answer 1

-x^3y^2 - x^2y + 2x - y is the simplified form of the given polynomial expression.

Explanation:

Answer 2

5x^3y^2 - 4x^2y + 2x - (6x^3y^2 - 3x^2y + y)

Distribute a -1 to each term inside the parentheses.

5x^3y^2 - 4x^2y + 2x - 6x^3y^2 + 3x^2y - y

Combine like terms.

-x^3y^2 - x^2y + 2x - y is the simplified form of the given polynomial expression.
