Answer:

Explanation:

( 3x - 2 ) - ( 2x + 5 ) = 3x - 2 - 2x - 5 = x - 7

( 2x + 5 ) - ( 3x - 2 ) = 2x + 5 - 3x + 2 = - x + 7

( 2x + 5 ) + ( 3x - 2 ) = 2x + 5 + 3x - 2 = 5x + 3

Answer:

1st one: (x-7)

2nd: (-x+7)

3rd: (5x+3)

Explanation:

1: you subtract like terms so first you do 3x-2x which is x and do -2-5 and get -7 so its (x-7)

2: do 2x-3x and get (-x) and then do 5-(-2) and get 7 so the answer is (-x+7)

3: first do 2x+3x and get 5x and then do 5+(-2) and get 3 so the answer is (5x+3)
