To simplify the expression \((3x^2 - 2) + (11 - 5x)\), combine like terms:
1. Combine the \(x^2\) terms: \(3x^2\)
2. Combine the \(x\) terms: \(0 - 5x = -5x\)
3. Combine the constant terms: \(-2 + 11 = 9\)
Putting it all together, we have:
\[
3x^2 - 5x + 9
\]
So, the simplified expression is \(3x^2 - 5x + 9\). The correct response is:
**3x² − 5x + 9**.
