Question 70807This question is from textbook Beginning Algebra
: Subtract: 5b^2 - 2b + 2 from 10b^2-3b+6.
I factored this problem but I am not sure that it is right and need to double check to be sure that I am not doing this wrong before continuing. Thanks.
My answer was.
-(5b^2+5b-8) This question is from textbook Beginning Algebra

 10b%5E2-3b%2B6
 -5b%5E2+-+2b+%2B+2

All you need to do is subtract like terms. 10b^2-5b^2=5b^2, -3b-(-2b)=-b (you forgot to distribute the negative), and 6-2=4
So you should get
5b%5E2-b%2B4
You can verify these two if you graph them.
