Final answer:

To subtract the polynomials, change signs of the terms being subtracted and combine like terms to get the final result, which is 3
x^2 - 12x + 7, option C.

Step-by-step explanation:

To subtract the polynomial (2
x^2 + 7x - 4) from (5
x^2 - 5x + 3), we change the signs of each term within the parentheses that are being subtracted and then combine like terms. Here's the step-by-step process:

Start with the original expression:
(5
x^2 - 5x + 3) - (2
x^2 + 7x - 4).

Change the sign of each term within the second set of parentheses being subtracted:
(5
x^2 - 5x + 3) - 2
x^2 - 7x + 4.

Combine like terms:
5
x^2 - 2
x^2 gives 3
x^2,
-5x - 7x gives -12x,
3 + 4 gives 7.

Write the final result: 3
x^2 - 12x + 7.

Thus, the correct answer is Option C: 3
x^2 - 12x + 7.
