13x³ - (-2x² + 3x)(-2x+3x²)

First factor the x from each term.

13x³ - x(-2x + 3) x(-2+3x)

13x³ - x²(-2x + 3)(-2+3x)

Note that (-2x + 3)(-2+3x) = 4x - 6x² + 9x - 6 = -(6x² - 13x + 6)

13x³ + x²(6x² - 13x + 6)

Factor out the x²

x²(13x) + x²(6x² - 13x + 6)

x²(13x + 6x² - 13x + 6)

x²(6x² + 6)

Now factor out the 6

6x²(x² + 1)

13x^3 - (-2x^2 + 3x)(-2x+3x^2)
=13x^3-(4x^3-6x^4-6x^2+9x^3)
=13x^3-4x^3+6x^4+6x^2-9x^3
=13x^3-4x^3-9x^3+6x^4+6x^2
=6x^4+6x^2
