%282x%5E2%2Bx-6x-3%29%28x%2B6%29------skipped step intentionally
%282x%5E2-5x-3%29%28x%2B6%29
2x%5E2%28x%2B6%29-5x%28x%2B6%29-3%28x%2B6%29
2x%5E3%2B12x%5E2-5x%5E2-30x-3x-18

Next could be MOSTLY commutative property (but does not really apply to subtractions);
2x%5E3%2B12x%5E2-5x%5E2-30x-3x-18, but earlier step already gave that degree arrangment, so next is combine like-terms;
