Verified Answer :

To answer the question, distribute the negative sign and combine like terms. 
                                      3 - 13x - 7x² - 5x² - 12x + 10
                                (-7x² - 5x²) + (-13x - 12x) + (3 + 10)
Thus, the answer is letter B. -12x² - 25x + 13.

Answer:

Option (b) is correct.

The difference between two given polynomial is \(-12x^2-25x+13\)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : Polynomial \(3 - 13x - 7x^2\) and \(5x^2+ 12x - 10\)

We have to find the difference between given two polynomial.

Consider  Polynomial \(3 - 13x - 7x^2\) and \(5x^2+ 12x - 10\)

Difference is  \((3 - 13x - 7x^2)-(5x^2+ 12x - 10)\)

Consider \(-\left(5x^2+12x-10\right)\)

Distribute parentheses, we have,

\(=-\left(5x^2\right)-\left(12x\right)-\left(-10\right)\)

Apply plus- minus rule,

\(-\left(-a\right)=a,\:\:\:-\left(a\right)=-a\)

\(=-5x^2-12x+10\)

\(=3-13x-7x^2-5x^2-12x+10\)

Adding similar terms (terms having same variable with same power)

We have,

\(=-12x^2-25x+13\)

Thus, the difference between two given polynomial is \(-12x^2-25x+13\)
