(i) Subtract 6x3 - 5x2 + 4x - 3 from the sum of x + 2x2 - 3x3 and 2 - x2 + 6x - x3.

Let's find the sum of the last two expressions:

We have:

x + 2x2 - 3x3 and 2 - x2 + 6x - x3

Arranging the terms in descending powers of x and use 0 as a placeholder for any missing term:

3x3+2x2+x+03x3x2+6x+24x3+x2+7x+2\begin{array}{rcccccc} -3x^3 & + & 2x^2 & + & x & + & 0 \\ -\phantom{3} x^3 & - & x^2 & + & 6x & + & 2 \\ \hline -4x^3 & + & x^2 & + & 7x & + & 2 \\ \hline \end{array}

The sum is -4x3 + x2 + 7x + 2

Now, subtract 6x3 - 5x2 + 4x - 3 from the above sum:

4x3+x2+7x+2+6x35x2+4x36x3++10x3+6x2+3x+5\begin{array}{rcccccc} -4x^3 & + & x^2 & + & 7x & + & 2 \\ +6x^3 & - & 5x^2 & + & 4x & - & 3 \\ -\phantom{6x^3} & + & & - & & + \\ \hline -10x^3 & + & 6x^2 & + & 3x & + & 5 \\ \hline \end{array}

Hence, the answer is -10x3 + 6x2 + 3x + 5

(ii) Subtract the sum of a + 2b - 3c and 2c - 3b - 4a from the sum of 5b - 4c + a and 2c - 3b - 4a.

Let's find the sum of first pair:

We have:

a + 2b - 3c and 2c - 3b - 4a

Arranging the terms to match (a, b, c):

a+2b3c4a3b+2c3abc\begin{array}{rcccc} a & + & 2b & - & 3c \\ -4a & - & 3b & + & 2c \\ \hline -3a & - & b & - & c \\ \hline \end{array}

Sum 1 = -3a - b - c

Now, let's find the sum of second pair:

We have:

5b - 4c + a and 2c - 3b - 4a

Arranging the terms to match (a, b, c):

a+5b4c4a3b+2c3a+2b2c\begin{array}{rcccc} a & + & 5b & - & 4c \\ -4a & - & 3b & + & 2c \\ \hline -3a & + & 2b & - & 2c \\ \hline \end{array}

Sum 2 = -3a + 2b - 2c

Let's subtract sum 1 from sum 2:

3a+2b2c3abc+3a++0+3bc\begin{array}{rcccc} -3a & + & 2b & - & 2c \\ -3a & - & b & - & c \\ +\phantom{3a} & + & & + \\ \hline 0 & + & 3b & - & c \\ \hline \end{array}

Hence, the answer is 3b - c

(iii) Subtract the sum of x2 - 5xy + 2y2 and y2 - 2xy - 3x2 from the sum of 6x2 - 8xy - y2 and 2xy - 2y2 - x2.

Let's find the sum of first pair:

We have:

x2 - 5xy + 2y2 and y2 - 2xy - 3x2

Arranging the terms to match (x2, xy, y2):

x25xy+2y23x22xy+y22x27xy+3y2\begin{array}{rcccc} x^2 & - & 5xy & + & 2y^2 \\ -3x^2 & - & 2xy & + & y^2 \\ \hline -2x^2 & - & 7xy & + & 3y^2 \\ \hline \end{array}

Sum 1 = -2x2 - 7xy + 3y2

Now, let's find the sum of second pair:

We have:

6x2 - 8xy - y2 and 2xy - 2y2 - x2

Arranging the terms to match (x2, xy, y2):

6x28xyy2x2+2xy2y25x26xy3y2\begin{array}{rcccc} 6x^2 & - & 8xy & - & y^2 \\ -x^2 & + & 2xy & - & 2y^2 \\ \hline 5x^2 & - & 6xy & - & 3y^2 \\ \hline \end{array}

Sum 2 = 5x2 - 6xy - 3y2

Let's subtract sum 1 from sum 2:

5x26xy3y22x27xy+3y2+2x2+7x2+xy6y2\begin{array}{rcccc} 5x^2 & - & 6xy & - & 3y^2 \\ -2x^2 & - & 7xy & + & 3y^2 \\ +\phantom{2x^2} & + & & - \\ \hline 7x^2 & + & xy & - & 6y^2 \\ \hline \end{array}

Hence, the answer is 7x2 + xy - 6y2
