Answer: =−3x^3−9x^2+3

Explanation:

Distribute the Negative Sign:

=5x^3−7x^2+3x−4+−1(8x^3+2x^2+3x−7)

=5x^3+−7x^2+3x+−4+−1(8x^3)+−1(2x^2)+−1(3x)+(−1)(−7)

=5x^3+−7x^2+3x+−4+−8x^3+−2x^2+−3x+7

Combine Like Terms:

=5x^3+−7x^2+3x+−4+−8x^3+−2x^2+−3x+7

=(5x^3+−8x^3)+(−7x^2+−2x^2)+(3x+−3x)+(−4+7)

=−3x^3+−9x^2+3
