See the entire solution process below:

Explanation:

First, remove all of the terms from parenthesis. Be careful to handle the signs of each individual term correctly:

3x^2 + 4x - 10 - 2x - 7 + 4x^2

Next, group like terms:

3x^2 + 4x^2 + 4x - 2x - 10 - 7

Now, combine like terms:

(3 + 4)x^2 + (4 - 2)x - 17

7x^2 + 2x - 17
