| ① | Remove the parentheses by changing the sign of each term within them. $$ - \left( 10x-3+3x^2 \right) = -10x+3-3x^2 $$ |
| ② | Combine like terms: $$ \color{blue}{6} \color{red}{-2x} + \color{green}{7x^2} \color{red}{-10x} + \color{blue}{3} \color{green}{-3x^2} = \color{green}{4x^2} \color{red}{-12x} + \color{blue}{9} $$ |
