| ① | Remove the parentheses by changing the sign of each term within them. $$ - \left( 3+2x^2-5x \right) = -3-2x^2+5x $$ |
| ② | Combine like terms: $$ \color{blue}{11x^2} + \color{red}{2} \, \color{green}{ -\cancel{5x}} \, \color{red}{-3} \color{blue}{-2x^2} + \, \color{green}{ \cancel{5x}} \, = \color{blue}{9x^2} \color{red}{-1} $$ |
