### Example Problem: Finding the Difference of Polynomials

**Problem Statement:**

Find the difference. See Examples 6–7.

\[ 
\begin{array}{r}
2x^3 + 7x^2 - 3x + 7 \\
- (6x^3 + 4x^2 + 9x + 3) \\
\hline
\end{array}
\]

To solve this problem, follow these steps:

1. **Identify and organize the polynomials:**
   - The first polynomial is \(2x^3 + 7x^2 - 3x + 7\).
   - The second polynomial to be subtracted is \(6x^3 + 4x^2 + 9x + 3\).

2. **Rewrite the second polynomial with a negative sign:**
   ```
   - (6x^3 + 4x^2 + 9x + 3) 
   = -6x^3 - 4x^2 - 9x - 3
   ```

3. **Combine like terms:**
   ```
   \begin{array}{r}
   2x^3 + 7x^2 - 3x + 7 \\
   -6x^3 - 4x^2 - 9x - 3 \\
   \hline
   \end{array}
   ```

4. **Compute the difference for each term:**
   - For the \(x^3\) term: \(2x^3 - 6x^3 = -4x^3\)
   - For the \(x^2\) term: \(7x^2 - 4x^2 = 3x^2\)
   - For the \(x\) term: \(-3x - 9x = -12x\)
   - For the constant term: \(7 - 3 = 4\)

5. **Write the final expression:**
   \[
   -4x^3 + 3x^2 - 12x + 4
   \]

### Detailed Explanation:

In this problem, you are required to subtract the second polynomial from the first. To do so, you negate each term in the second polynomial and then add the resulting terms to the terms of the first polynomial. Combining like terms involves adding or
