He didn't combine the like terms correctly.

Explicación

## Step 1The problem given is \((x^{2}-3x+4)-(x^{3}+7x-2)\). The first step Justin took was to distribute the negative sign to each term in the second parenthesis. This is correct.## Step 2The next step Justin took was to combine like terms. However, he made a mistake here. He should have added the like terms, not subtracted them.## Step 3The correct calculation should be , which simplifies to .
