Subtracting Polynomials

Add or Subtract to Simplify:
(4n⁴ - 8n + 4) - (8n² + 4n⁴ + 1)

• -8n² - 8n + 3 
• -7n² - 8n + 3 
• -6n² - 8n + 3
• -7n² - 4n + 3

Add or Subtract to Simplify:
(5x + x² - 4) - (4x - x² + 6)

• 2x² + x + 2 
• x + 2
• 2x² + x - 10 
• x - 10 

(x³-x²+4) - (3x³-2x²+3)

• -2x³-3x²+7
• -2x³+x²+1
• 2x³-3x³-1
• 4x³-3x²+7

(x³-x²+4) - (3x³-2x²+3)

• -2x³-3x²+7
• -2x³+x²+1
• 2x³-3x³-1
• 4x³-3x²+7

Add or Subtract to Simplify:
(4n⁴ - 8n + 4) - (8n² + 4n⁴ + 1)

• -8n² - 8n + 3 
• -7n² - 8n + 3 
• -6n² - 8n + 3
• -7n² - 4n + 3

One difference between adding and subtracting polynomials is...

• Using the associative property
• Using the distributive property
• Using the commutative property
• Nothing. The process is the same

Subtract the polynomials.

(2x + 5y) - (3x - 2y)

• -x + 3y

• -x + 7y

• 5x + 7y

• 7xy + 1xy
