To simplify the expression \((8x^3 + 3x^2 - 8x + 10) - (7 + 5x^2 + 5x^3)\), we'll follow these steps:
-
Distribute the negative sign to the terms in the second set of parentheses: \[ (8x^3 + 3x^2 - 8x + 10) - 7 - 5x^2 - 5x^3 \]
-
Combine like terms:
- For \(x^3\) terms: \(8x^3 - 5x^3 = 3x^3\)
- For \(x^2\) terms: \(3x^2 - 5x^2 = -2x^2\)
- For \(x\) terms: \(-8x - 5x = -13x\)
- For constant terms: \(10 - 7 = 3\)
Thus, combining these results, we have: \[ 3x^3 - 2x^2 - 13x + 3 \]
The correct answer is: \(3x^3 - 2x^2 - 13x + 3\).
