Answer:

(3)

Explanation:

5x^2 - (2x-3)^2

5x^2- (2x-3)(2x-3)

now you distribute, the 5x^2 stay the same for now

So for now just (2x-3)(2x-3)

first 2x * 2x= 4x^2

2x * -3= -6x

-3 * 2x= -6x

-3 * -3= 9

So (2x-3)(2x-3) is 4x^2 -6x-6x+9

You can simplify that to 4x^2 -12x +9

Now we add in the 5x^2 from the start don't forget!

And we are subtracting sooo

5x^2 -(4x^2 -12x +9)

5x^2 -4x^2 +12x -9

x^2 +12x -9
