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

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

2. Distribute if necessary (in this case, there's nothing to distribute):
\[
3x^2 - 2 + 11 - 5x
\]

3. Combine like terms:
- The \(x^2\) term: \(3x^2\)
- The \(x\) term: \(-5x\)
- The constant terms: \(-2 + 11 = 9\)

Putting it all together, we have:
\[
3x^2 - 5x + 9
\]

So the correct answer from the options would be:
**3x²−5x+9** (3 x squared minus 5 x plus 9).
