3x2−5x+9

Answer 1

To simplify the expression \((3x^2 - 2) + (11 - 5x)\), we can follow these steps:

1. Remove the parentheses: \[ 3x^2 - 2 + 11 - 5x \]

2. Combine like terms:

   • The \(x^2\) term: \(3x^2\) (there are no other \(x^2\) terms to combine with).
   • The \(x\) term: \(-5x\) (again, no other \(x\) terms).
   • The constant terms: \(-2 + 11 = 9\).

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

So the correct response is: 3x² - 5x + 9.
