\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " $\"%283x-1%29%28-x%5E2%2B4x%2B2%29\"$ Start with the given expression.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " $\"3x%28-x%5E2%2B4x%2B2%29-1%28-x%5E2%2B4x%2B2%29\"$ Expand.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "

Distribute.\r

\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " $\"-3%2Ax%5E3%2B12%2Ax%5E2%2B6%2Ax%2Bx%5E2-4%2Ax-2\"$ Multiply.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " $\"-3%2Ax%5E3%2B13%2Ax%5E2%2B2%2Ax-2\"$ Now combine like terms.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " So $\"%283x-1%29%28-x%5E2%2B4x%2B2%29\"$ expands to $\"-3%2Ax%5E3%2B13%2Ax%5E2%2B2%2Ax-2\"$ .\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "In other words, $\"%283x-1%29%28-x%5E2%2B4x%2B2%29=-3%2Ax%5E3%2B13%2Ax%5E2%2B2%2Ax-2\"$ .
