(7x^2+13x-19)-(4x+7-16x^2)

1 answer

To simplify the expression \((7x^2 + 13x - 19) - (4x + 7 - 16x^2)\), we will first distribute the negative sign across the terms in the parentheses.

  1. Start with the original expression:

    \[ (7x^2 + 13x - 19) - (4x + 7 - 16x^2) \]

  2. Distribute the negative sign:

    \[ 7x^2 + 13x - 19 - 4x - 7 + 16x^2 \]

  3. Combine like terms:

    • Combine \(7x^2\) and \(16x^2\): \[ 7x^2 + 16x^2 = 23x^2 \]

    • Combine \(13x\) and \(-4x\): \[ 13x - 4x = 9x \]

    • Combine \(-19\) and \(-7\): \[ -19 - 7 = -26 \]

  4. So the simplified expression is:

    \[ 23x^2 + 9x - 26 \]

Thus, the final answer is:

\[ \boxed{23x^2 + 9x - 26} \]
