The question is asking us to find the sum. To do this, let's first write the original equation and then take it from there.

(3 x^(2) + 3x - 5) + (-7 x^(2) + 9)
Use distributive property:

3 x^(2) + 3x - 5 - 7 x^(2) + 9
Combine Like Terms:

-4 x^(2) +3x+4
Therefore, the answer to your question is -4x² + 3x + 4. Hope this helps and have a fantastic day!
