In the first place, you don't have an equation. You can't have an equation unless there is an equals sign (=) somewhere.

So, the question becomes, what is it that you want to do with this? Just simplify it? Factor it? "do this" just doesn't give enough information.

Repost the problem including what the book asks you to do. And please, do show the work you have done so far so that we have an idea of exactly what sort of help you need.
