What must be added to 7x3 – 3x2 +6x + 4 to make the sum x3 – 5x2- x + 1 ?
Let us take unknown value as A.
(7x3 - 3x2 + 6x + 4) + A =(x3 - 5x2 - x + 1)
So, A = (x3 - 5x2 - x + 1) - (7x3 - 3x2 + 6x + 4)
= x3 - 5x2 - x + 1 - 7x3 + 3x2 - 6x - 4
Group like terms together
= x3 - 7x3 - 5x2 + 3x2 - x - 6x + 1 - 4
= - 6x3 - 2x2 - 7x - 3
A = (- 6x3 - 2x2 - 7x - 3)

So, A = (x3 - 5x2 - x + 1) - (7x3 - 3x2 + 6x + 4)
= x3 - 5x2 - x + 1 - 7x3 + 3x2 - 6x - 4
Group like terms together
= x3 - 7x3 - 5x2 + 3x2 - x - 6x + 1 - 4
= - 6x3 - 2x2 - 7x - 3
A = (- 6x3 - 2x2 - 7x - 3)
