You can put this solution on YOUR website!
If P(x) = 4x^2+2x-7
and
R(x)= 2x^2+5x-3
and you are asked
R(x)-P(x)
then put your R = and your P = into the problem and solve.
(2x^2+5x-3) - (4x^2+2x-7)
-2x^2+3x+4
This can be carried on to solve and get answer to x but you didn't ask for that. If you need to you can factor using foil or the quadratic formula.
