Answer:


\displaystyle 2 - 5b + 2a

Explanation:

To avoid confusion, distribute that negative amongst all terms in the second set of parentheses:


\displaystyle 2a - 5b + 2 = (a - 3b + 5) - (-a + 2b + 3)

** The above answer is written in reverse, which is the exact same result.

I am joyous to assist you anytime.
