Question

Subtract and simplify. Show work (-5y^2 – 9y – 4) - (-2y^2– y + 8)

Answer 1

Subtract:-8y+2y^2-37 Explanation: you will start off by simplifying each term so you would raise 5 to the power of 2 and get -1x25-9y-4-(-2y2-y+8) and you then multiply -1 by 25 so you would do -25-9y-4-(-2y^2-y+8) and then you would apply distributive property so you would do -25-9y-4+(2y^2)- -y-1x8 and then you simplify and get -25-9y-4+2y^2+y-8 and lastly you would simplify by adding terms so you would subtract 4 from -25 so do −9y-29+2y^2+y-8. And then add -9y and y by doing -8y-29+2y^2-8 and subtract 8 from 29 and get your answer as -8y+2y^2-37
