To simplify the expression \((3x^2 - 2) + (11 - 5x)\), you combine like terms. Here’s how you do it step-by-step:

  1. First, distribute the terms: \[ 3x^2 - 2 + 11 - 5x \]

  2. Next, combine the constants and the like terms: \[ 3x^2 - 5x + (-2 + 11) \] which simplifies to: \[ 3x^2 - 5x + 9 \]

So, the simplified expression is: \[ \boxed{3x^2 - 5x + 9} \]
