Does anyone know how to do this ?

Part A: The student forgot to distribute the subtraction across the entire polynomial.

Part B: 8-6-7x+x-2-3 = 2-6x-5

Part C: The terms are 2, -6x, and -5. The coefficient of is 2. The coefficient of x is -6.  

Step-by-step explanation:

Part A: When subtracting polynomials you have to make sure the subtraction is distributed to every term in the second polynomial.

Part B: Distributing the subtraction across the entire term we see that we need to subtract 6, add x, and subtract 3. Then we just do the math and we get the answer.

Part C: Since they're asking for the simplified polynomial, they want the answer to the subtraction problem.  The terms are separated by + and - signs and the coefficients  are the numbers being multiplied against variables.
