Answer

\(\boxed{-x^{2} + 3x - 1}\) is the final simplified form of the expression.

Steps

Step 1 :Given the expression $3(x-2)-(x^{2}-5)$

Step 2 :Distribute the 3 in the first term to get $3x - 6 - (x^{2}-5)$

Step 3 :Remove the parentheses to get $3x - 6 - x^{2} + 5$

Step 4 :Rearrange the terms to group like terms together to get $-x^{2} + 3x - 1$

Step 5 :\(\boxed{-x^{2} + 3x - 1}\) is the final simplified form of the expression.
