Which of the following shows that polynomials are closed under subtraction when polynomial x + 5 is subtracted from 3x2 + 2x − 6

Art [367]

For this case we have the following polynomials:
$P = 3x ^ 2 + 2x - 6

Q = x + 5$
By subtracting both polynomials we have:
$P - Q = (3x ^ 2 + 2x - 6) - (x + 5)
$
What we must do is subtract terms of the same degree.
We have then:
$P - Q = 3x ^ 2 + (2x - x) + (-6 - 5)

P - Q = 3x ^ 2 + x - 11$
Answer:
$3x ^ 2 + x - 11$ will be a polynomial
