Answer:

❊ $\large{ \tt{STEP - BY - STEP \: EXPLANATION}} :$

♡ Firstly , Here are some of the questions & their answers which should be known before simplifying the given expression :

Q. Do I have to change the sign of each term of second expression while subtracting ?

Ans : Yep! While subtracting , sign of each term of the second expression changes whereas In addition , sign of each term in the expressions remains unchanged.

Q. What do you mean by Like terms & Unlike terms ?

Ans : Well , Like terms are those which have the same base whereas Unlike terms are those which have the different base [ For eg : In 4x , 2y , 3x & 4y , 4x & 3x are like terms and 2y and 4y are like terms ]. Also Remember : Only coefficients of like terms can be added or subtracted.

The Question / Answer part ends up here. Now , Let's get started for simplifying the given expression :

$\large{ \bf{❊ \: ( - 5 {x}^{} + 6 {x}^{2} ) - (6 {x }^{2} - 5x)}}$
