I assume they want you to simplify?
To simplify it just means carry out as many operations as possible, and combine like terms. Finally, if there are common factors, you may pull them out:
+3%282x-1%29%2B4%28x%2B2%29+
= +%286x-3%29%2B%284x%2B8%29+
= +6x%2B4x+%2B+8-3+
= +10x%2B5+
= +5%282x%2B1%29+ (Ans)
