To solve the problem using the structure given in your example, we will start from the definitions of \( C \) and \( B \):

  1. Given: \[ C = -3 + 5s^2 \] \[ B = -2s + 5 \]

  2. We need to find \( 2C + 3B \):

    \[ 2C + 3B = 2(-3 + 5s^2) + 3(-2s + 5) \]

  3. Calculate \( 2C \): \[ 2C = 2(-3 + 5s^2) = -6 + 10s^2 \]

  4. Calculate \( 3B \): \[ 3B = 3(-2s + 5) = -6s + 15 \]

  5. Now, combine \( 2C \) and \( 3B \): \[ 2C + 3B = (-6 + 10s^2) + (-6s + 15) \]

  6. Combine the terms:

    • Combine the constant terms: \(-6 + 15 = 9\)
    • Combine the \( s \) terms: \(-6s\)
    • The \( s^2 \) term remains as \( 10s^2 \)

    Thus, the expression becomes: \[ 2C + 3B = 10s^2 - 6s + 9 \]

Finally, the expression \( 2C + 3B \) in standard form is: \[ 10s^2 - 6s + 9 \]
