While adding or subtracting algebraic expressions we need to be aware that we can add/subtract only like terms.
Like terms have the same algebraic factors.
According to question,

(4+3x)+(54x+2x2)(3x25x) +(x2+2x+5)

=[4+3x+54x+2x2][3x25xx2+2x+5]

=[2x2+3x4x+5+4][3x2x2+2x5x+5]

=[2x2x+9][2x23x+5]

=2x2x+92x2+3x5

=2x22x2x+3x+95

=2x+4
So, the required expression is 2x+4.
