I think the question is subtract 4x^2 - 5x from the sum of 9x^2 - 2 and 6x - 1
First we need to find the sum of 9x^2 - 2 and 6x - 1

= (9x^2 - 2) + (6x - 1)
= 9x^2 + 6x - 3 [Adding the like terms]
Now (9x^2 + 6x - 3)- (4x^2 - 5x)
= 9x^2 + 6x - 3 - 4x^2 + 5x
= 5x^2 + 11x - 3 [adding the like terms]
Best of Luck!!!
