Answer

-5$x^{2}$ + 3x

Work Step by Step

2(-5$x^{2}$ + 3x) - (3x - 5$x^{2}$) Use the distributive property to remove the parentheses =2.-5$x^{2}$ + 2.3x - (3x - 5$x^{2}$) Drop parentheses and change the sign of each term in parentheses: - (3x - 5$x^{2}$) = - 3x + 5$x^{2}$ = 2.-5$x^{2}$ + 2.3x - 3x + 5$x^{2}$ Multiply = -10$x^{2}$ + 6x - 3x + 5$x^{2}$ Group like terms = (-10$x^{2}$ + 5$x^{2}$) + ( 6x - 3x ) combine like terms (-10$x^{2}$ + 5$x^{2}$) = (-10+5)$x^{2}$ = -5$x^{2}$, (6x - 3x) =(6-3)x = 3x =-5$x^{2}$ + 3x
