Addition and Subtraction of Polynomials

Question 5 • OK-Algebra II A

Which expression can be used to find the difference of the polynomials?(4m – 5) – (6m – 7 + 2n)

Answer
A
(4m – 5) + (6m + 7 + 2n)
B
(4m – 5) + (–6m + 7 + 2n)
C
(4m – 5) + (–6m – 7 – 2n)
D
(4m – 5) + (–6m + 7 – 2n)

Explanation

To subtract the second polynomial, change the sign of every term inside its parentheses: −(6m − 7 + 2n) = −6m + 7 − 2n. So the expression is (4m − 5) + (−6m + 7 − 2n), which is choice D.
