Question

Subtract.

(x² + 3x - 7) - (3x² - 5x + 3)

Express the answer in standard form.

Answer 1

Explanation:

To subtract (x² + 3x - 7) - (3x² - 5x + 3), we need to distribute the negative sign to the second polynomial and then combine like terms.

(x² + 3x - 7) - (3x² - 5x + 3) = x² + 3x - 7 - 3x² + 5x - 3

Now we can combine like terms:

= (-3x² + x²) + (3x + 5x) + (-7 - 3)

= -2x² + 8x - 10

Therefore, the answer is -2x² + 8x - 10 in standard form.
