Answer: The equation is correct.

Explanation:

from the expression,

5x + 3( y + 4x² + 3x ) + 2( y - x² ) = 14x + 10x² + 5y

Open brackets with 3 and 2

5x + 3y + 12x² + 9x + 2y - 2x²

Now collect like terms

5x + 9x + 12x² - 2x² + 3y + 2y

14x + 10x² + 5y = 14x + 10x² + 5y (Q.E.D)

TH equation is correct
