This document provides instructions on how to perform the subtraction of polynomials. It defines key terms like minuend, subtrahend, and difference. It then demonstrates the subtraction process through examples, showing how like terms are combined. Readers are encouraged to try a problem on their own to subtract the polynomials (5n3 – 7n2 – 10n + 6) – (6n3 – 8n2 – 4n + 10) and are provided the answer: -n3 + n2 – 14n + 16.
