To complete the polynomial equation that involves the subtraction of the second expression from the first, we need to structure it properly.
Given the first expression: \[ 9x^2 + 2x + 13 \]
And the second expression: \[ 2x^2 + 12x + 2 \]
We now need to subtract the second expression from the first: \[ (9x^2 + 2x + 13) - (2x^2 + 12x + 2) \]
Distributing the negative sign across the second polynomial yields: \[ 9x^2 + 2x + 13 - 2x^2 - 12x - 2 \]
Now, let's combine like terms:
- For \(x^2\) terms: \(9x^2 - 2x^2 = 7x^2\)
- For \(x\) terms: \(2x - 12x = -10x\)
- For constant terms: \(13 - 2 = 11\)
Putting it all together, the resulting difference is: \[ 7x^2 - 10x + 11 \]
So, the completed polynomial equation showing the subtraction is: \[ 9x^2 + 2x + 13 - (2x^2 + 12x + 2) = 7x^2 - 10x + 11 \]
