To simplify the expression \((3x^2−2)+(11−5x)\), combine like terms:
1. Start with the expression:
\[
(3x^2 - 2) + (11 - 5x)
\]
2. Remove the parentheses:
\[
3x^2 - 2 + 11 - 5x
\]
3. Combine the constant terms (\(-2\) and \(11\)):
\[
3x^2 - 5x + 9
\]
So, the final simplified expression is:
\[
3x^2 - 5x + 9
\]
The correct response is:
**D) \(3x^2 - 5x + 9\)**.
