Solution

The correct option is C 2x3+7x2+5x4
We know that Like terms are terms that contain the same variables raised to the same power.

We group together the like terms and subtract 3x37x+4 from 5x3+7x22x as follows:

(5x3+7x22x)(3x37x+4)=5x3+7x22x3x3+7x4=(5x33x3)+7x2+(2x+7x)4=2x3+7x2+5x4

Hence, (5x3+7x22x)(3x37x+4)=2x3+7x2+5x4.
