Answer 1

I can't see the image files you referenced. Please either paste the two polynomials you want subtracted (or re-upload the images).

Meanwhile, here is how to subtract polynomials and an example so you can apply the method:

Steps
1. Write the subtraction: (first polynomial) − (second polynomial).
2. Distribute the negative sign across the second polynomial: change the sign of every term in the second polynomial.
3. Combine like terms (same powers of x).
4. Order terms by descending degree and simplify.

Example
Find (3x^2 + 2x − 5) − (x^2 − 4x + 1).

1. Distribute the negative: 3x^2 + 2x − 5 − x^2 + 4x − 1.
2. Combine like terms:
- x^2 terms: 3x^2 − x^2 = 2x^2
- x terms: 2x + 4x = 6x
- constants: −5 − 1 = −6
3. Result: 2x^2 + 6x − 6.

If you post the actual polynomials from your images, I’ll subtract them and show the steps.
