It depends on what you wish to subtract them from. The solution is to write the minuend (what you want to subtract FROM). Then append the binomial or monomial with the sign of each term changed. Then combine like terms.
For example, if you wish to subtract 3x2 - 4x + 6 from sin(x) + 5x, the solution is
sin(x) + 5x - 3x2 + 4x - 6 = sin(x) + x - 3x2 - 6

What kind of polynomials are there?
Trinomials, Binomials and Monomials
What are the steps and rules for adding and subtracting monomials?
A monomial is a polynomial that has just one term. So to add or subtract monomials, is the same as we add or subtract like terms (terms that have exactly the same variable part). Since we are dealing with monomials, the restriction is that the exponent(s) of the variable(s) must be positive integer(s). Examples of monomials: 10xy, -5xy2, -3x2, 3w3z6, -7xy, -4x2, 2xy2, 9w3z6. So, how to add or subtract them? First detect where the like terms (monomials) are, then group them (write them next to each other), then combine (ad or subtract their coefficients, and write next to the result the common variable part). 10xy -7xy = 3xy (subtract since the coefficients have different sign). -5xy2 +2xy2 = -3xy2 (subtract since the coefficients have different sign). -3x2 -4x2 = -7x2 (add because the coefficients have the same sign). 3w3z6 + 9w3z6 = 12w3z6 (add because the coefficients have the same sign).
When multiplying binomials that turn out negative do you add or subtract exponents?
When multiplying numbers with exponents, you add the exponents.
What is important when dividing monomials?
Divide coefficients and subtract exponents of the same variable. EX: (20 x6) / (4 x2) = 5 x4
What are two monomials together?
Two monomials would be a Binomial or Polynomial.
