| ① | Remove the parentheses by changing the sign of each term within them. $$ - \left( 7x^2-3x+13 \right) = -7x^2+3x-13 $$ |
| ② | Combine like terms: $$ \color{blue}{10x^2} \color{red}{-4x} + \color{green}{3} \color{blue}{-7x^2} + \color{red}{3x} \color{green}{-13} = \color{blue}{3x^2} \color{red}{-x} \color{green}{-10} $$ |
