Question

Please help me and my son I am confused

Answer 1

-13
`p^(4)` -
`8p^(2)` + 4p + 3

Explanation:

I am having a little trouble reading the number. I think 5 is the question number and not part of the problem. I think this is the problem:

(4p - 6
`p^(4)` - 3) - (8
`p^(2)` + 7
`p^(4)` - 6) You take the opposite of everything inside the second set of parentheses. You can think of it as multiplying through by -1

4p - 6
`p^(4)` - 3 - 8
`p^(2)` - 7
`p^(4)` + 6 Now we combine like terms. That is the numbers with the same variable p and the same power of p.

-13
`p^(4)` - 8
`p^(2)` + 4p + 3
