Answer:


12a^2-9a+5

Explanation:

We need to subtract


-7a^2+3a-9

from


5a^2-6a-4

So


5a^2-6a-4-(-7a^2+3a-9)

Opeining the bracket changes the signs


=5a^2-6a-4+7a^2-3a+9

Bringing all the like terms together


=5a^2+7a^2-6a-3a-4+9


=12a^2-9a+5

The result after performing the required operation is
12a^2-9a+5.
