What is (9x- 18x^2 - 6x +4) - (5x^3 - 2x^2 + 9x -3) ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Arrange it in the order of power, then subtract the like terms together!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Can you start it off for me? @Chlorophyll Not sure how to.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[5x ^{3}-16x ^{2}-6x+7\] Correct me I am wrong

OpenStudy (anonymous):

There is no option that begins with 5x. They all start with 4x. @dsanders520

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Ozzy I don't understand what you mean by starting with 4x

OpenStudy (anonymous):

It's 9x^3

OpenStudy (anonymous):

You wrote it wrong

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I can tell since 9x^3 - 5x^3 will give you 4^3

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Oh shoot thank you @Azteck for catching that mistake.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

-5x³ + 2x² - 9x +3 - 18x² ...

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Where did the 9x^3 come from

OpenStudy (anonymous):

The very start. It says (9x- 18x^2 - 6x +4). THe 9x is meant to be 9x^3

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Ozzy wrote the line incorrectly in the first place.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Oh I solved it as it was written

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yes , my mistake.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@Ozzy733 Can you follow what I show you?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Okay give me a second. @Chlorophyll

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[4x ^{3}+16x ^{2}-15x\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

forgot +7

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I don't know who you want to show you how to do it.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Oh I just figured it out. Thank you for the help. @Chlorophyll Thank you for the answer, I used it as a checker and it was right! @dsanders520

OpenStudy (anonymous):

You are welcome Ozzy733

OpenStudy (anonymous):

And thank you too @Azteck

OpenStudy (anonymous):

You're welcome.
