To find:

The result after subtraction.

Solution:

Subtract
-7x^2+1 from
-2x^2-4x. It canbe written as


-2x^2-4x-(-7x^2+1)

Using distributive property, we get


=-2x^2-4x-(-7x^2)-(1)


=-2x^2-4x+7x^2-1

On combining like terms, we get


=(7x^2-2x^2)-4x-1


=5x^2-4x-1

Therefore, the required expression after subtraction is
5x^2-4x-1.
