First, distribute 2x to the terms inside the first parenthesis: 2x(x2−2x−3)=2x3−4x2−6x Next, distribute −x2 to the terms inside the second parenthesis: −x2(3x−5)=−3x3+5x2 Now, combine the two resulting expressions:
(2x3−4x2−6x)+(−3x3+5x2)=2x3−4x2−6x−3x3+5x2 Combine like terms:
2x3−3x3−4x2+5x2−6x=(2−3)x3+(−4+5)x2−6x =−x3+x2−6x
