MCQ
How much is $a^2 - 3a$ greater than $2a^2 + 4a?$
  • A
    $a^2 - 7a$
  • B
    $a^2 + 7a$
  • $-a^2 - 7a$
  • D
    $-a^2 + 7a$

Answer

Correct option: C.
$-a^2 - 7a$
Since, $(a^2 - 3a)-(2a^2 + 4a)$
$= a^2 - 3a - 2a^2 - 4a$
$= - a^2 -​7a$
So, $a^2-3a$ is greater than $2a^2+4a$ by $-a^2-​7a.$
Hence, the correct alternative is option $(c).$
