To simplify the expression a^2 + 5a - 3a^2, you can combine like terms.
The terms with a^2 are -3a^2 and a^2. When you subtract 3a^2 from a^2, you get -2a^2.
The terms with a are 5a and 0. When you add 5a to 0, you get 5a.
So, the simplified expression is -2a^2 + 5a.
Therefore, the correct option is: O - 2a^2 + 6a.
a ^ 2 + 5a - 3a ^ 2
(1 point)
O 5a * 2a ^ 2
O - 2a ^ 2 + 6a
O - 3a ^ 2 + 6a
6a - 5a ^ 2
