%282x-1%29%28-x%5E2-4x%2B3%29

2x%28-x%5E2-4x%2B3%29-1%28-x%5E2-4x%2B3%29 Note: %28A%2BB%29%28C%2BD%2BE%29+=+A%28C%2BD%2BE%29%2BB%28C%2BD%2BE%29

2x%28-x%5E2%29%2B2x%28-4x%29%2B2x%283%29-1%28-x%5E2%29-1%28-4x%29-1%283%29

-2x%5E3-8x%5E2%2B6x%2Bx%5E2%2B4x-3

-2x%5E3-7x%5E2%2B10x-3

So %282x-1%29%28-x%5E2-4x%2B3%29 simplifies to -2x%5E3-7x%5E2%2B10x-3

In other words, %282x-1%29%28-x%5E2-4x%2B3%29=-2x%5E3-7x%5E2%2B10x-3 for all values of x
