    [(2x^2 * x) - (x * x) + (3 * x)] + [(2x^2 * 3) - (x * 3) + (3 * 3)]

    (2x^3 - x^2 + 3x) + (6x^2 - 3x + 9)

    2x^3 + 5x^2 + 9

  • first change the equation to wear it looks easier:

    (x+3)(2x^2-x+3)

    then multiply the x with all three numbers from the equation in pareanthesis, givng you:

    2x^3 - x^2 + 3x

    then do the same with the 3 from the (x+3), giving you:

    6x^2 - 3x + 9

    then combine like terms, leaving you with the answer of:

    2x^3 + 5x^2 + 9

    2x^2 (x+3) -x(x+3) +3(x+3)

    = 2x^3 + 6x^2 -x^2 -3x + 3x + 9

    [6xsquared minus 1xsquared equals 5xsquared, and negative 3x plus 3x gives us 0 so...)

    = 2x^3 +5x^2 + 9

    I hope I did this right, it's hard to do it on the computer..

    2*x^2*(x) = 2*x^3

    2*x^2*(3) = 6*x^2

    ( - x)*(x) = - x^2

    ( - x)*(3) = - 3*x

    3*x = 3*x

    3*3 = 9

    2*x^3 + 6*x^2 - x^2 - 3*x + 3*x + 9 = 2*x^3 + 5*x^2 + 9, Answer.
