Sorry... Simplify

Distribute it out in pieces:
x^2 * (x-3) = x^3 - 3x^2
x^3 - 3x^2 * (x-2) = x^4 - 3x^3 - 2x^3 + 6x^2
Combine like terms:
x^4 - 5x^3 + 6x^2 (solution!)

well... im guessing the first term is 2x soooo
multiply the first into the second term
2x(x)+2x(-3) = 2x^2-6x
so now you have
(2x^2-6x)(x-2)
now you can do normal FOIL (first outer inner last) and you should have your answer...
hope this gets you on the right track..
yeah i dont really know if you meant 2x or 2 raised to the 2nd power... if it is the raised one then do not use my numbers... use others...

x²(x-3)(x-2) = (x"3 - 3x²)(x-2) = x"4 - 3x"3 - 2x3" + 6x² = x"4 - 5x"3 + 6X²
