Hi

Golden rule to know by heart : you can only add or substract element of the same kind.

so X^2 with X^2 , X with X , numbers with numbers...

exemple : 2X^2 +3X^2 = 5X^2

but 5X^2 -3X remains that way as 5X^2 is a " X^2" and " 3X" is a " X" so I can't substract two elements of different kind.

Now you have to translate what is ask of you into a calculus.

so : you have

A ) ( 2x^2+4x +5) - ( x^2+3x)

Math is a sport of the mind. You will only progress and become stronger if you train.

So I let you have a shot. beware of signs rules. If you still have trouble, ask in comment section..

Answer:

- 3x² + x + 5

Explanation:

- 2x² + 4x + 5 - (x² + 3x) ← distribute by - 1

= - 2x² + 4x + 5 - x² - 3x ← collect like terms

= - 3x² + x + 5
