What should be taken away from 3x2-4y2+5xy+20 to obtain -x2-y2+6xy+20?
Mathematical operation with algebraic expressions.
Let us consider that m should be taken away from 3x2-4y2+5xy+20 to obtain -x2-y2+6xy+20.
∴(3x2-4y2+5xy+20)-m=-x2-y2+6xy+20⇒-m=-x2-y2+6xy+20-(3x2-4y2+5xy+20)⇒-m=-x2-y2+6xy+20-3x2+4y2-5xy-20⇒-m=-x2-3x2-y2+4y2+6xy-5xy+20-20⇒-m=-4x2+3y2+xy⇒m=--4x2+3y2+xy⇒m=4x2-3y2-xy
Hence, the expression (4x2-3y2-xy) should be taken away from 3x2-4y2+5xy+20 to obtain -x2-y2+6xy+20.
