① | Remove the parentheses by changing the sign of each term within them. $$ - \left( 3x^2+2x-5 \right) = -3x^2-2x+5 $$ |
② | Combine like terms: $$ \color{blue}{5x^2} \color{red}{-4x} + \color{green}{7} \color{blue}{-3x^2} \color{red}{-2x} + \color{green}{5} = \color{blue}{2x^2} \color{red}{-6x} + \color{green}{12} $$ |
