Answer:

9x^3 + 4x^2 + 5

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's simplify step-by-step.

6x^2−3−5x^3−(4x^3+2x^2−8)

Distribute the Negative Sign:

=6x^2−3−5x^3+−1(4x^3+2x^2−8)

=6x^2+−3+−5x^3+−1(4x^3)+−1(2x^2)+(−1)(−8)

=6x^2+−3+−5x^3+−4x^3+−2x^2+8

Combine Like Terms:

=6x^2+−3+−5x^3+−4x^3+−2x^2+8

=(−5x^3+−4x^3)+(6x^2+−2x^2)+(−3+8)

=−9x^3+4x^2+5
