Question

Subtract. Answer choices and equation are below.

Answer 1

-x^3 + 3x^2 - 6x + 8

Explanation:

To solve this, first distribute the negative to everything inside the 2nd set of ( ). Here's what your problem will look like after distributing:

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

Now all you need to do is combine like terms. Here's a list of the terms you can combine:

x^3 and -2x^3

-2x and -4x

5 and 3

Here's what your equation will look like after combining all like terms:

-x^3 + 3x^2 - 6x + 8

This is your final answer.
