Answer:

When
p^2 - 4p is subtracted from
p^2 + p - 6, the result is
5p - 6. To get
p - 9, subtract
4p + 3 from the result.

Explanation:

✔️Subtracting
p^2 - 4p from
p^2 + p - 6:


(p^2 + p - 6) - (p^2 - 4p)


p^2 + p - 6 - p^2 + 4p (Distributive property)

Collect like terms


p^2 - p^2 + p + 4p - 6


5p - 6

✔️Subtracting
p - 9 from
5p - 6:


(5p - 6) - (p - 9)


5p - 6 - p + 9 (distributive property)

Add like terms


4p + 3
