Answer:

9x³+8x²-3x-11

Explanation:

1. You can move sections around throughout the equation.

^Note: Be sure to keep the same signs (either positive or negative) for each section.

In this problem, the sections are (-3x), (8x²), (-11), and (9x³).

^Note: I kept the subtraction/negative sign

2. Rearrange the exponents in order from largest to smallest in the equation.

largest 9x³ +8x² -3x -11 smallest

^Note: -3x has an exponent of 1
