Answer

\[14{{x}^{2}}+x\].

Work Step by Step

Consider the expression\[2\left( {{x}^{2}}+5x \right)+3\left( 4{{x}^{2}}-3x \right)\]. Simplify it as follows: First apply the distributive law and get, \[2\left( {{x}^{2}}+5x \right)+3\left( 4{{x}^{2}}-3x \right)=2{{x}^{2}}+10x+12{{x}^{2}}-9x\] Add the like terms, \[\begin{align} & 2\left( {{x}^{2}}+5x \right)+3\left( 4{{x}^{2}}-3x \right)=2{{x}^{2}}+10x+12{{x}^{2}}-9x \\ & =14{{x}^{2}}+x \end{align}\] Hence, the given algebraic expression simplified to\[14{{x}^{2}}+x\].
