Question

Subtract the binomials. On simplifying (-3y2 − 8) − (-5y2 + 1), we get ____ y2 −______ .

Answer 1

(-3y^2 − 8) − (-5y^2 + 1)
= -3y^2 − 8 + 5y^2 - 1
= 2y^2 - 9

answer is

2y^2 - 9

Answer 2

`\text{The answer is }2y^2-9`

Explanation:

Given the two binomials

`(-3y^2-8)` and
`(-5y^2+1)`

we have to subtract the above binomials.

`(-3y^2-8)-(-5y^2 + 1)`

Opening the bracket

`(-3y^2-8+5y^2-1)`

Summing up the like terms

`(-3y^2+5y^2-8-1)`

`2y^2-9`

`\text{Hence, the answer is }2y^2-9`
