-14x^7+19x^6-5x^5+10x^4-35

Explanation:

To solve you must put the bigger expression on top and the smaller expression on the bottom and subtract.
We are told the first expression is greater.
-14x^7+19x^6-17
ul(- (5x^5-10x^4+18))

Distribute the negative

-14x^7+19x^6-17
ul(- 5x^5+10x^4-18)

Now simplify the like terms
-14x^7+19x^6 -5x^5+10x^4-35
