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.**
