Simplify the difference.

(3w2 – 5w – 6) – (6w2 + 4w – 2)


9w2 + 9w + 4

9w2 – 1w – 8

–3w2 – 1w – 8

–3w2 – 9w – 4

Answer:


\text{The simplified expression is }-3w^2-9w-4

Option 4 is correct.

Explanation:

Given the two expressions

we have to find the difference i.,e simplify the expression.


(3w^2 - 5w - 6) - (6w^2 + 4w - 2)

Opening the brackets


(3w^2 - 5w - 6)-6w^2-4w+2

Combining like terms


(3w^2-6w^2)+(-5w-4w)+(-6+2)


-3w^2-9w-4

which is required expression.

Hence, option 4 is correct.
