| ① | Remove the parentheses by changing the sign of each term within them. $$ - \left( 5x^2+4x-7 \right) = -5x^2-4x+7 $$ |
| ② | Combine like terms: $$ \color{blue}{8x^2} \color{red}{-4x} + \color{green}{6} \color{blue}{-5x^2} \color{red}{-4x} + \color{green}{7} = \color{blue}{3x^2} \color{red}{-8x} + \color{green}{13} $$ |
