Combine the like terms.
-3x^2 - (-x^2) = -3x^2 + x^2 = -2x^2
4x - (-4x) = 4x +4x = 8x
The difference would be: -2x^2 + 8x - 1
Answer:
[tex]-2x^{2} +8x-1[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
Hello, I think I can help you with this
Step 1
let's remember some properties:
sign product
[tex](+)*(+)=(+)\\(+)*(-)=(-)\\(-)*(+)=(-)\\(-)*(-)=(+)[/tex]
Step 2
when you add similar terms you must be sure to add terms with the same variable (x) and the same exponent
let
[tex]-3x^{2} +4x-1-(-x^{2} -4x)\\-3x^{2} +4x-1-(1)*(-x^{2} )+(-1)*(-4x)\\-3x^{2} +4x-1+x^{2} +4x\\organize\ and\ combine\ similar\ terms\\\\-3x^{2} +x^{2} +4x+4x-1\\-2x^{2} +8x-1[/tex]
I hope it helps, have a great day
