your answer is $3 x^{2} + x + 12$ $3x^2+x+12$

First distribute the - sign

$(6 x^{2} + x + 7) - (3 x^{2} - 5)$ $(6x^2+x+7)−(3x^2−5)$ becomes $(6 x^{2} + x + 7) + (- 3 x^{2} + 5)$ $(6x^2+x+7)+(-3x^2+5)$

then combine like terms ( $6 x^{2} - 3 x^{2} = 3 x^{2}$ $6x^2-3x^2= 3x^2$ etc)

your answer is $3 x^{2} + x + 12$ $3x^2+x+12$

How do you combine like terms in (6x2+x+7)−(3x2−5)(6x ^ { 2} + x + 7) - ( 3x ^ { 2} - 5)?
