The given expressions are:

2x%5E3+-+3x%5E4+%2B+2x%5E3 & 25m%5E5+-+50m%5E4+-+100m%5E3

The first expression can be written as:


x%5E3%282+-+3x+%2B+2%29

Here we take x%5E3 as the highest common factor for the entire expression.

So this implies:

x%5E3%284+-+3x%29

On applying Distributive property to the above expression, we get:

4x%5E3+-+3x%5E4 which is nothing but the given expression itself.

----------------------------------------------------------------------

The second expression is:

25m%5E5+-+50m%5E4+-+100m%5E3

Here in the above expression, we take 25m%5E3 as the highest common factor.

Hence, we get:

25m%5E3%28m%5E2+-+2m+-+4%29

Applying Distributive property, we get:

25m%5E5+-+50m%5E4+-+100m%5E3

Hence, the solution.

------------------------------------------------------------------

Thus, the solution for the given expressions are:

x%5E3%284+-+3x%29

25m%5E3%28m%5E2+-+2m+-+4%29
