| ① | Remove the parentheses by changing the sign of each term within them. $$ - \left( -x^5+3x^3+11x+5 \right) = x^5-3x^3-11x-5 $$ |
| ② | Combine like terms: $$ x^4+6x^2+ \color{blue}{10x} + \color{red}{9} +x^5-3x^3 \color{blue}{-11x} \color{red}{-5} = x^5+x^4-3x^3+6x^2 \color{blue}{-x} + \color{red}{4} $$ |
