Answer 1

Let's perform the operations step by step:

1. **Start with the expression**:
\((7x^2 - 6x + 2) - (4x - 8) + (-6x^2 + 3x)\)

2. **Distribute the negative sign in the second term**:
\((7x^2 - 6x + 2) - 4x + 8 + (-6x^2 + 3x)\)

3. **Combine like terms**:
- For \(x^2\) terms: \(7x^2 - 6x^2 = (7 - 6)x^2 = 1x^2\)
- For \(x\) terms: \(-6x - 4x + 3x = (-6 - 4 + 3)x = -7x\)
- For constant terms: \(2 + 8 = 10\)

4. **Putting it all together**:
The expression simplifies to:
\(x^2 - 7x + 10\)

So the completely simplified form of the expression is:

**Response**: \(x^2 - 7x + 10\)
