Question

Perform the specified operations on the polynomials: Subtract 5a−6b+7c from 13a−4b+8c

Answer 1

Answer:

8a + 2b + c

Step-by-step explanation:

For subtracting polynomials we just need to operate subtracting the terms with same unknown. In our case we sum/subtract the terms that include a between them, the terms that have b between them and the therms with c between them. So we have:

(13a−4b+8c) - (5a−6b+7c) =?

13a−4b+8c - 5a+6b-7c = ?

Lets operate putting together terms with same unknown:

(13a - 5a) + (-4b +6b) + (8c-7c) =

8a + 2b + c

So, if we subtract 5a−6b+7c from 13a−4b+8c we get 8a + 2b + c

I hope it is clear!
