To subtract the polynomials, distribute the negative sign through the second polynomial:

(11 s + 9 m - 7 t) - (7 s + 7 t - 4 m)
= 11 s + 9 m - 7 t - 7 s - 7 t + 4 m

Now combine like terms:
- For s: 11 s - 7 s = 4 s
- For m: 9 m + 4 m = 13 m
- For t: -7 t - 7 t = -14 t

Thus, the result is 4 s + 13 m - 14 t.

So, (11 s + 9 m - 7 t) - (7 s + 7 t - 4 m) = 4 s + 13 m - 14 t.
$$ 4s + 13m - 14t $$

Subtract the polynomials. \( (11 s+9 m-7 t)-(7 s+7 t-4 m) \) \( (11 s+9 m-7 t)-(7 s+7 t-4 m)=\square \)
