Question

Samuel found the difference of the polynomials. (15x^2+11y^2+8x)-(7x^2=5y^2=2x)=?x^2=6y^2+6x What value is missing from his solution?

Answer 1

the answer is 8.

Replace the question mark with 8

Answer 2

8

Explanation:

To subtract polynomials, subtract like terms:

(15x²+11y²+8x)-(7x²+5y²+2x)

Like terms are those terms with the same variables and exponents.

15x² and 7x² are like terms; 15x²-7x² = 8x²

This is the missing coefficient in the answer.
