Write down problem: First, write down the problem and distribute the negative sign to the terms inside the parentheses that are being subtracted.(3z2+6z+9)−(2z+4)=3z2+6z+9−2z−4
Group like terms: Next, group the like terms together. In this case, we can group the z terms and the constant terms.3z2+(6z−2z)+(9−4)
Perform subtraction: Now, perform the subtraction for the like terms. 3z2+4z+5
