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