2x^2−9

Answer 1

To simplify the expression \((3x^2−2)+(11−5x)\), we can combine like terms:

1. Start with the expression: \[ (3x^2 - 2) + (11 - 5x) \]

2. Distributing the terms:

   • The \(3x^2\) term stays as is.
   • Combine the constant terms: \(-2 + 11 = 9\).
   • The \(-5x\) term stays as is.

3. Combine everything: \[ 3x^2 - 5x + 9 \]

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

Thus, the correct response is: 3x² − 5x + 9.
