Answer:

2x2−6x−4

Explanation:

Let's simplify step-by-step.

5x^2+2x−11−(3x^2+8x−7)

Distribute the Negative Sign:

=5x^2+2x−11+−1(3x^2+8x−7)

=5x^2+2x+−11+−1(3x^2)+−1(8x)+(−1)(−7)

=5x^2+2x+−11+−3x^2+−8x+7

Combine Like Terms:

=5x^2+2x+−11+−3x^2+−8x+7

=(5x^2+−3x^2)+(2x+−8x)+(−11+7)

=2x^2+−6x+−4
