Question

Simplify the difference. (6w^2 – 8w – 3) – (4w^2 + 2w – 2)

a. 10w^2 + 10w + 1
b. 2w^2 – 6w – 5
c. 10w^2 – 6w – 5
d. 2w^2 – 10w – 1

Answer 1

You solve this by collecting like terms. The like terms here are 6w^2 and 4w^2
-2 and -3
-8w and 2w

Through this, you can subtract/add from each other to create a simplified version of that, which is

2w^2 - 6w - 5


Which means the answer must be B
