① | Remove the parentheses by changing the sign of each term within them. $$ - \left( 6x^2+8x-5 \right) = -6x^2-8x+5 $$ |
② | Combine like terms: $$ \color{blue}{5x^2} \color{red}{-7x} + \color{green}{10} \color{blue}{-6x^2} \color{red}{-8x} + \color{green}{5} = \color{blue}{-x^2} \color{red}{-15x} + \color{green}{15} $$ |
