Line up the similar-power variables and subtract the coefficients.
$−14x^6 − 9x^5 - 4x^4 + 14x^3) − 12x^2 - 11$

In this case, there are none, so the expressions are combined.
$−14x^6 − 9x^5 " "− 12x^2$
- $" "4x^4 − 14x^3" " + 11$

$−14x^6 − 9x^5 - (4x^4 − 14x^3) − 12x^2 - 11$

$−14x^6 − 9x^5 - 4x^4 + 14x^3) − 12x^2 - 11$

How do you Subtract 4x^4 - 14x3 + 114x^4 - 14x3 + 11 from -14x^6 - 9x5 - 12x^2-14x^6 - 9x5 - 12x^2?
