The answer is: " -3x² + 6 " .
_________________________________________________
Step-by-step explanation:
_________________________________________________
(2x² + 3x - 4) + (8 - 3x) + (- 5x² + 2) =

2x² + 3x - 4 + 8 - 3x + 1(- 5x² + 2) ;
_____________________________

Note: 1(-5x² + 2) = - 5x² + 2 ;
______________________________
2x² + 3x - 4 + 8 - 3x + 1(- 5x² + 2) =

2x² + 3x - 4 + 8 - 3x - 5x² + 2 = ?
_____________________________
Combine the "like terms" ;

+2x² - 5x² = - 3x² ;

+3x -3x = 0

-4 + 8 + 2 = 6 ;

So, we have: " - 3x² + 6 " .
