Question

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

Answer 1

The resultant expression is
`5p-6`.

Explanation:

The given expressions are

`p^2-4p` .... (1)

`p^2+p-6` ..... (2)

Subtract expression (1) from expression (2),

`p^2+p-6-(p^2-4p)`

`p^2+p-6-p^2+4p`

Combine like terms.

`(p^2-p^2)+(p+4p)-6`

`0+5p-6`

`5p-6`

Therefore, the resultant expression is
`5p-6`.

Answer 2

When dealing with the subtraction of polynomials, only the coefficients with similar variables can be subtracted. Assuming the two polynomials are p^2 + p - 6 and p^2 - 4p, the subtraction is shown below:

p^2 + p - 6
- p^2 - 4p
------------------
+5p - 6

Therefore, the difference would be 5p - 6.
