Answer

$9x^2+8$

Work Step by Step

The sum of $5x^2-3x+6$ and $4x^2+5x-3$ is \begin{array}{l}\require{cancel} 5x^2-3x+6+4x^2+5x-3 \\\\= (5x^2+4x^2)+(-3x+5x)+(6-3) \\\\= 9x^2+2x+3 .\end{array} Subtracting $2x-5$ from the previous result, then, \begin{array}{l}\require{cancel} 9x^2+2x+3-(2x-5) \\\\= 9x^2+2x+3-2x+5 \\\\= 9x^2+(2x-2x)+(3+5) \\\\= 9x^2+8 .\end{array}
