Use the FOIL method to find the product.

%286x%5E2-6%29%28x%5E3-7%29

Step 1. FOIL method means multiply the First, Outer, Inner, and Last terms



%286x%5E2-6%29%28x%5E3-7%29=6x%5E5-42x%5E2-6x%5E3%2B42

Step 2. Arrange in descending order

%286x%5E2-6%29%28x%5E3-7%29=6x%5E5-6x%5E3-42x%5E2%2B42

Step 3. ANSWER: %286x%5E2-6%29%28x%5E3-7%29=6x%5E5-6x%5E3-42x%5E2%2B42

I hope the above steps were helpful.
