−2x2+9

Answer 1

To simplify the expression \((3x^2−2)+(11−5x)\), we can combine like terms:

1. Start by distributing the addition: \[ 3x^2 - 2 + 11 - 5x \]

2. Now, group the like terms:

   • The \(x^2\) term: \(3x^2\)
   • The \(x\) term: \(-5x\)
   • The constant terms: \(-2 + 11\)

3. Combine the constant terms: \[ -2 + 11 = 9 \]

4. Putting it all together: \[ 3x^2 - 5x + 9 \]

Therefore, the simplified expression is: \[ 3x^2 - 5x + 9 \]

The correct response is: 3x² − 5x + 9
