Question

Subtract: (4x^4 + 2n) – (8x^4+14n) Your answer should be in simplest terms.​

Answer 1

`({4x}^(4) + 2n) - ( {8x}^{ {4} } + 14n)`

`{4x}^(4) +2 n - {8x}^(4) - 14n`

`( {4x}^{ 4{} } - {8x}^(4) ) + (2n - 14n)`

`( { - 4x}^(4) ) + ( - 12n)`

`{ - 4x}^(4) - 12n`

Answer 2

-4x^4-12n

Step-by-step explanation: Apply the distributive property.

4x^4+2n−(8x^4)−(14n)

Multiply

8 by −1.

4x^4+2n−8x^4−(14n)

Multiply

14 by −1.

4x^4+2n-8x^4− 14 n

Subtract

8x4 from4x

−4x^4+2n−14n

Subtract

14n from 2n

-4x^4−12n
