Answer:

D. -7x² + 6x - 7

Explanation:

Given expression:


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

Distribute the negative sign to each term inside the second parentheses, remembering that:


\boxed{( - )( - ) = +}\;\; \textsf{and}\;\;\boxed{( - )( + ) = -}


-2x^2+3x-5-5x^2+3x-2

Collect like terms:


-2x^2-5x^2+3x+3x-5-2

Combine like terms:


-7x^2+6x-7

Therefore, the expression that is equivalent to the given expression is:


\large\boxed{-7x^2+6x-7}
