To find the difference, we need to subtract the distance on the back roads from the distance on the highway:
(6x^2 + 2x - 2) - (5x^2 - 8x - 6)
Simplifying, we get:
6x^2 + 2x - 2 - 5x^2 + 8x + 6
Combining like terms, we get:
x^2 + 10x + 4
Therefore, the answer is:
x^2 + 10x + 4
So the second route is x^2 + 10x + 4 miles shorter than the highway route.
(6x^2 + 2x - 2) - (5x^2 - 8x - 6)
Simplifying, we get:
6x^2 + 2x - 2 - 5x^2 + 8x + 6
Combining like terms, we get:
x^2 + 10x + 4
Therefore, the answer is:
x^2 + 10x + 4
So the second route is x^2 + 10x + 4 miles shorter than the highway route.
