Step-by-step explanation:
(12x^2 - 3x - 12) - (16x^2 - x + 1)
You can use the distributive formula to solve this equation:
12x^2 - 3x - 12 - 16x^2 + x - 1
Add or subtract by the common terms:
12x^2 - 16x^2 = -4x^2
-3x + x = -2x
-12 - 1 = -13
Then, put the answers back to an equation to get your results:
= -4x^2 - 2x - 13
Hope this helped!!
