Answer 1

$\Large\maltese\underline{\textsf{Our problem:}}$

When $\bf{p^2-4p}$ is subtracted from$\bf{p^2+p-6}$, the result is...?

$\Large\maltese\underline{\textsf{This problem has been solved!}}$

$\bf{Subtract:}$

$\bf{p^2+p-6-p^2-4p}$. | combine like terms

$\bf{p^2-p^2+p-4p-6}$ | simplify

$\bf{0p^2-3p-6}$ | simplify

$\bf{-3p-6}$

$\rule{300}{1.7}$

$\bf{Result:}$

                   $\bf{-3p-6}$

$\boxed{\bf{aesthetic \not101}}$

Answer 2

Answer:

5p - 6

Step-by-step explanation:

p² + p - 6 - (p² - 4p) ← distribute parenthesis by - 1

= p² + p - 6 - p² + 4p ← collect like terms

= 5p - 6
