Question

Subtract 5x²+2x-11 from 3x²+8x-7. Express the result as a trinomial

Answer 1

`\sf \: -2x² + 6x + 4`

Explanation:

Given problem,

→ (3x² + 8x - 7) - (5x² + 2x - 11)

Let's solve the problem,

→ (3x² + 8x - 7) - (5x² + 2x - 11)

→ 3x² + 8x - 7 - 5x² - 2x + 11

→ (3x² - 5x²) + (8x - 2x) + (-7 + 11)

→ (3 - 5)x² + (8 - 2)x + 4

→ -2x² + 6x + 4

Hence, answer is -2x² + 6x + 4.
