| ① | Remove the parentheses by changing the sign of each term within them. $$ - \left( 2x^2-2x+3 \right) = -2x^2+2x-3 $$ |
| ② | Combine like terms: $$ \color{blue}{6x^2} + \color{red}{3x} \color{green}{-2} \color{blue}{-2x^2} + \color{red}{2x} \color{green}{-3} = \color{blue}{4x^2} + \color{red}{5x} \color{green}{-5} $$ |
