could you finish simplifying this for me pleasee??
I'm having trouble finding what can be multiplied to get -2 that you can get 3 by adding as well... .

in this equation start off by take the neg out of the x^2 the equation will be -4x(x^2-3x+2) this is easier to work with
then set up the brackets (x_ _),and (x_ _). -2 and -1 will work (x-2)and (x-1) you'll be left with -4x(x-2)(x-1)

4x(-x^2 + 3x - 2) = -4x(x^2 - 3x + 2) = -4x(x-2)(x-1)

4x(-x^2 + 3x - 2)
-4x(x^2 - 3x + 2)
-4x(x - 1)(x - 2)
.

4x(-x^2+3x-2)
=-4x(x^2-3x+2)
=-4x{x^2-x-2x+2}
=-4x{x(x-1)-2(x-1)}
=-4x(x-1)(x-2) ans
