| ① | Remove the parentheses by changing the sign of each term within them. $$ - \left( -2k+6k^2+11 \right) = 2k-6k^2-11 $$ |
| ② | Combine like terms: $$ \color{blue}{5k^2} \color{red}{-7k} + \color{green}{9} + \color{red}{2k} \color{blue}{-6k^2} \color{green}{-11} = \color{blue}{-k^2} \color{red}{-5k} \color{green}{-2} $$ |
