$\"-2%28X%5E3%29%28y%5E2%29%286%28x%5E2%29%28y%5E3%29%2B2%28x%5E2%29-3%28x%5E3%29y%29\"$
\n" ); document.write( "Phew took some editing to figure out this problem. I think all you want to do is Multiply the term outside the brackets with the terms inside the brackets
\n" ); document.write( "Do you know the Law of Indices
\n" ); document.write( "Let me explain through examples
\n" ); document.write( "Suppose you have $\"%28X%5E3%29%2AX%5E2\"$
\n" ); document.write( "Then you re-write as $\"X%5E%283%2B2%29+=+X%5E5\"$
\n" ); document.write( "So if you have two terms that you are mutltiplying and both have the same base i.e. X then you can just add the Indices or the Powers\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "for e.g.
\n" ); document.write( " $\"%282%5E2%29%2A2%5E3\"$
\n" ); document.write( "we know that $\"2%5E2+=+4\"$ and $\"2%5E3+=+8\"$ and $\"4%2A8=32\"$
\n" ); document.write( "So ,by the law of Indices
\n" ); document.write( " $\"2%5E%282%2B3%29+=+2%5E5+=+32\"$ \r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Now can you do it from here?? \n" ); document.write( "

\n" );
