$x^2+6$

Since the grouping symbol is preceded by a negative sign, then the sign of each term inside the grouping symbol alters once the grouping symbol is removed. Hence, the given expression, $ 3x^2+11-(2x^2+5) $, is equivalent to \begin{array}{l}\require{cancel} 3x^2+11-2x^2-5 .\end{array} By combining like terms, then this simplifies to \begin{array}{l}\require{cancel} x^2+6 .\end{array}
