Answer

$-2x^{3}+2x^{2}+9x-5$

Work Step by Step

The sum of $(2x^{2}+4x-7)$ and ($-5x^{3}-2x-3)$ is $ \begin{array}{lllll} & & 2x^{2} & +4x & -7\\ +( & -5x^{3} & & -2x & -3)\\ \hline & & & & \\ = & -5x^{3} & +2x^{2} & +2x & -10\\ & & & & \end{array} $ Subtract $(-3x^{3}-7x+5)$ from the above sum; $ \begin{array}{lllll} & -5x^{3} & +2x^{2} & +2x & -10\\ -( & -3x^{3} & & -7x & +5)\\ \hline & & & & \\ = & -2x^{3} & +2x^{2} & +9x & -5 \end{array} $
