To simplify the expression \((3x^2 - 2) + (11 - 5x)\), you can combine the like terms from both parentheses.
1. First, write down the expression:
\[
(3x^2 - 2) + (11 - 5x)
\]
2. Now, combine the like terms:
- The \(3x^2\) term will stay the same since there are no other \(x^2\) terms.
- The \(-5x\) term doesn't have a counterpart, so it will remain as is.
- The constant terms \(-2\) and \(11\) can be combined: \(-2 + 11 = 9\).
So, the simplified expression is:
\[
3x^2 - 5x + 9
\]
This is the final answer.
