Question

subtract.
(-9q + 9) - (9q + 1)

Explanation:

Step1: Distribute the negative sign

To subtract the second polynomial from the first, we distribute the negative sign to each term in the second polynomial: \((-9q + 9) - (9q + 1)=-9q + 9 - 9q - 1\)

Step2: Combine like terms

Combine the \(q\)-terms and the constant terms separately. For the \(q\)-terms: \(-9q-9q=-18q\). For the constant terms: \(9 - 1 = 8\). So the result is \(-18q+8\).

Answer:

\(-18q + 8\)
