To subtract the given polynomials, combine like terms by subtracting the coefficients of the corresponding variables.

To subtract a polynomial from another polynomial, we need to combine like terms. Let's compare the given polynomials:

3ab - 4bc + abc

2ab + 3abc + 1

We can subtract them term by term:

(3ab - 2ab) - 4bc + (abc - 3abc) - 1

Combining like terms, we get:

ab - 4bc - 2abc - 1
