To simplify the expression \((3x^2 - 2) + (11 - 5x)\), we can combine the like terms:
-
Start with the expression: \[ (3x^2 - 2) + (11 - 5x) \]
-
Distribute: \[ 3x^2 - 2 + 11 - 5x \]
-
Combine the constant terms \(-2\) and \(11\): \[ 3x^2 - 5x + 9 \]
Thus, the simplified expression is: \[ 3x^2 - 5x + 9 \]
The correct response is: 3x²−5x+9 (3 x squared minus 5 x plus 9)
