Question 3 Subtract: (i) –5y2 from y2 y2 − (−5y2) = y2 + 5y2 = y2 (1 + 5) = y2 (6) = 6y2 Question 3 (Method 1) Subtract: (viii) 4pq – 5q2 – 3p2 from 5p2 + 3q2 – pq (5p2 + 3q2 – pq) − (4pq – 5q2 – 3p2) = 5p2 + 3q2 – pq − 4pq + 5q2 + 3p2 = 5p2 + 3p2 + 3q2 + 5q2 – pq − 4pq = p2 (5 + 3) + q2 (3 + 5) + pq (−1 − 4) = p2 (8) + q2 (8) + pq (−5) = 8p2 + 8q2 − 5pq
