Answer

$$-6x^3+4x^2-24x+8.$$

Work Step by Step

We subtract the $x^3$-terms as follows $$ 8x^3-14x^3=-6x^3 $$ then subtract the $x^2$-terms as follows $$ 6x^2-2x^2=4x^2 $$ then subtract the $x$-terms as follows $$ -15x-9x=-24x $$ then subtract the constant terms as follows $$ 7+1=8 $$ Hence, the result is $$-6x^3+4x^2-24x+8.$$
