To simplify the expression \((2x^3 + 5) - (x^2 - 3x)\), we start by distributing the negative sign across the second set of parentheses:
\[
(2x^3 + 5) - (x^2 - 3x) = 2x^3 + 5 - x^2 + 3x
\]
Next, we'll rearrange the terms for clarity:
\[
2x^3 - x^2 + 3x + 5
\]
Now, since there are no like terms to combine further, the expression is simplified to:
\[
\boxed{2x^3 - x^2 + 3x + 5}
\]
\[
(2x^3 + 5) - (x^2 - 3x) = 2x^3 + 5 - x^2 + 3x
\]
Next, we'll rearrange the terms for clarity:
\[
2x^3 - x^2 + 3x + 5
\]
Now, since there are no like terms to combine further, the expression is simplified to:
