Question 9064: Should be a simple expansion, but can't get through the working out.
Expand:
(n-2)^3+6(n-2)^2+12(n-2)+8

You can put this solution on YOUR website!
(n-2)^3 expands to n%5E3+-+6n%5E2+%2B+12n+-+8
6(n-2)^2 expands to 6n%5E2+-+24n+%2B+24
12(n-2) expands to 12n - 24

Add all these together together with the +8 term.
