To simplify the expression \((3x^2 - 2) + (11 - 5x)\), you can combine like terms:
1. Start with the expression:
\[
(3x^2 - 2) + (11 - 5x)
\]
2. Remove the parentheses:
\[
3x^2 - 2 + 11 - 5x
\]
3. Combine like terms:
- The \(x^2\) term is \(3x^2\).
- The \(x\) term is \(-5x\).
- The constant terms are \(-2 + 11 = 9\).
Putting it all together, you get:
\[
3x^2 - 5x + 9
\]
Therefore, the correct response is:
\[
3x^2 - 5x + 9
\]
