Answer

$x^{2}+12x$

Work Step by Step

Subtract the polynomials inside the brackets $ \begin{array}{lllll} & 4x^{2} & +7x & -5 & \\ -( & 2x^{2} & -10x & +3 & )\\ \hline & & & & \\ = & (4-2)x^{2} & +(7+10)x & +(-5-3) & \\ & & & & \\ = & 2x^{2} & +17x & -8 & \\ & & & & \\ & & & & \end{array} $ From this difference, subtract the third polynomial. $ \begin{array}{lllll} & 2x^{2} & +17x & -8 & \\ -( & x^{2} & +5x & -8 & )\\ \hline & & & & \\ = & (2-1)x^{2} & +(17-5)x & +(-8+8) & \\ & & & & \\ = & x^{2} & +12x & +0 & \\ & & & & \\ & & & & \end{array}$ = $x^{2}+12x$
