      @godsregret That's a minus in between? In which case that's -5x - 6.

      @godsregret You simply just take the X Squared and subtract it with the other X squared. And all otehr like values go the same.

      @godsregret (x²-3x +1) -( x² + 2x +7)

      (-x^4 - 2x³ - 7x² +3x³ + 6x² + 21x -x² - 2x -7)

      -x^4 +x³ -2x² + 19x -7

      or something like that

        @mushi It wasn't a multiplication I don't think.

            @mushi Nah, if it were a multiplication there's be a • or * in between.

              @godsregret (x²-3x+1)-(x²+2x+7)
              =x²-3x+1-x²-2x-7 (bring -1 into second bracket)
              =x²-x²-3x-2x+1-7 (reorganize like terms for simplicity)
              =-5x-6 (final answer)

        @mushi No, Matt is right. You're supposed to multiply a -1 into the second bracket but then you add and subtract everything, not multiply them.
