You can put this solution on YOUR website!
You could do this the same way you would if you had numbers with digits according to their place values.

%28x%5E2%2B%28-4x%29%2B6%29 multiplied by %282x%2B%28-5%29%29

______x^2_________-4x_________6
2x____(___)________(___)_____(__)
-5____(__)________(___)_____(__)
Fill in the products and find the sum of them, and simplify.

______x^2_________-4x_________6
2x____(2x^3)________(-8x^2)_____(12x)
-5____(-5x^2)_______(20x)_____(-30)
