To simplify, we need to distribute the negative sign to all terms inside the brackets:
7x² - x - 2 + 6x³ - 3
Next, we can rearrange the terms in descending order of degree (highest power of x first):
6x³ + 7x² - x - 5
So the simplified form is 6x³ + 7x² - x - 5.
(7x² - x - 2 )- (-6x³ + 3)

6x³ + 7x² - x - 5
This is already in simplified form. There is no further simplification possible.
