| ① | Remove the parentheses by changing the sign of each term within them. $$ - \left( 3-x \right) = -3+x $$ |
| ② | Combine like terms: $$ 5x^2-3+ \color{blue}{x} + \color{blue}{7x} = 5x^2+ \color{blue}{8x} -3 $$ |
| ③ | Combine like terms: $$ \color{blue}{5x^2} + \color{red}{8x} -3+ \color{red}{2x} + \color{blue}{x^2} = \color{blue}{6x^2} + \color{red}{10x} -3 $$ |
