Answer:

[tex]\large\boxed{\dfrac{11}{4}x+8}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

[tex]\left(-\dfrac{11}{4}x+3\right)-2\left(-\dfrac{11}{4}x-\dfrac{5}{2}\right)\qquad\text{use the distributive property}\\\\=-\dfrac{11}{4}x+3+(-2)\left(-\dfrac{11}{4}x\right)+(-2)\left(-\dfrac{5}{2}\right)\\\\=-\dfrac{11}{4}x+3+\dfrac{22}{4}x+5\qquad\text{combine like terms}\\\\=\left(-\dfrac{11}{4}x+\dfrac{22}{4}x\right)+(3+5)\\\\=\dfrac{11}{4}x+8[/tex]
