Question

What is the difference of the polynomials?

(12x² – 11y² - 13x) - (5x² – 14y² – 9x )
A. 7x² + 3y² - 4x
B. 7x² - 3y² - 4x
C. 7x² - 25y² - 22x
D. 17x² - 25y² - 22x

Answer 1

The difference of the given polynomials is 7x² + 3y² - 4x.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the difference between two polynomials, we need to subtract the second polynomial from the first polynomial (12x² – 11y² - 13x) - (5x² – 14y² – 9x)

We can remove the brackets and then rearrange the terms:

12x² - 11y² - 13x - 5x² + 14y² + 9x

Combining like terms, we have:

7x² + 3y² - 4x
