Answer:

-12x²-25x+13

Explanation:

First open parenthesis.

(3 − 13x − 7x²) − (5x² + 12x − 10)

3 − 13x − 7x² − 5x² - 12x + 10

Now combine like terms.

3 − 13x − 7x² − 5x² - 12x + 10=13-25x-12x²

Now put into standard form, exponents greatest to least.

-12x²-25x+13

Hope this helps!

If not, I am sorry.
