2x² - x²

Factor:

x²(2 - 1)

x²(1)

--------------------------------------------

(3x² + x + 8) + (x² - 9)

Add like terms:

(3x² + x²) + x +(8 - 9)

4x² + x - 1

-----------------------------------------------

-3x² - 7x + 9 - 5x² + 6x - 4

Add like terms:

(-3x² - 5x²) + (-7x + 6x) + (9 - 4)

-8x² - x + 5
