Answer :

The question can be interpreted as follow:

[tex](4x^2+x-5)-(5x^2-1)[/tex]

Step 1: Open parentheses

[tex]\begin{gathered} 4x^2+x-5-5x^2-(-1) \\ 4x^2+x-5-5x^2+1 \end{gathered}[/tex]

Step 2: Group the terms by grouping similar terms

[tex]4x^2-5x^2+x-5+1[/tex]

Step 3: simplify the expression

[tex]-x^2+x-4[/tex]

Therefore the answer is

-x^2 + x - 4

The correct answer is option C
