| ① | Remove the parentheses by changing the sign of each term within them. $$ - \left( 2x^3-3 \right) = -2x^3+3 $$ |
| ② | Combine like terms: $$ 7x+ \color{blue}{7} +5x^2-2x^3+ \color{blue}{3} = -2x^3+5x^2+7x+ \color{blue}{10} $$ |
| ③ | Combine like terms: $$ \color{blue}{-2x^3} +5x^2+ \color{red}{7x} + \color{green}{10} + \color{green}{3} + \color{blue}{5x^3} + \color{red}{3x} = \color{blue}{3x^3} +5x^2+ \color{red}{10x} + \color{green}{13} $$ |
