Answer:

After subtracting
-7a^2+3a-9 from
5a^2-6a-4, the answer is:


12a^2-9a+5

Explanation:

The given expressions are:

Expression 1:
-7a^2+3a-9

Expression 2:
5a^2-6a-4

According to the question, expression 1 has to be subtracted from expression 2.

Writing it mathematically,


expression\ 2 - expression\ 1 = (5a^2-6a-4)-(-7a^2+3a-9)

The minus between both expression, when solved, will change the signs of the terms in expression 1

So,


= 5a^2-6a-4+7a^2-3a+9

Combining alike terms(i.e. combining squared terms together and similarly linear and constant terms)


=5a^2+7a^2-6a-3a-4+9\\=12a^2 -9a +5

After subtracting
-7a^2+3a-9 from
5a^2-6a-4, the answer is:


12a^2-9a+5
