subtract...

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

something throwing u off ?

OpenStudy (e.cociuba):

Just need help. It's all so confusing to me.

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

ok... its tough to explain, lets try

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

(3x^2 + 4x - 3) subtracted from (x^3 - 2x + 3)?

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

since we want to subtract it, we put a minus sign

OpenStudy (e.cociuba):

Correct but u cant subtract things tht are not like terms right?

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

(x^3 - 2x + 3) - (3x^2 + 4x - 3)

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

you're right ! so we simplyify only like terms. and keep other terms as it is.

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

(x^3 - 2x + 3) - (3x^2 + 4x - 3) first multiply the minus sign across

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

(x^3 - 2x + 3) - 3x^2 - 4x + 3

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

fine so far ?

OpenStudy (e.cociuba):

Ok yup :)

OpenStudy (e.cociuba):

I got. Thanks! I remember now! :))

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

great :)
