    The correct answer is that 3x ² - 11x+8 will be a polynomial.

    Explanation:

    When we subtract polynomials, we combine like terms:

    3x ² is the only x ² term we have.

    We have - 6x and subtract 5x from it; this gives us - 11x.

    We have 2 and subtract - 6 from it; when we subtract a negative, we add the opposite, which means we have 2--6=2+6=8.

    This gives us 3x ² - 11x+8. This is a polynomial, since it is made of monomials (none of the terms have a negative exponent or a radical sign).
