Solution

The given expression is -5 + 2x^3 + 2x^3 - 3 + 4x^2 - 2x^2 - x^3.

First, group the like terms together:

2x^3 + 2x^3 - x^3 (these are the x cubed terms)

4x^2 - 2x^2 (these are the x squared terms)

-5 - 3 (these are the constant terms)

Then, combine each group of like terms:

(2x^3 + 2x^3 - x^3) = 3x^3

(4x^2 - 2x^2) = 2x^2

(-5 - 3) = -8

Finally, put the expression back together:

3x^3 + 2x^2 - 8
