Use the FOIL (First, Outer, Inner, Last) method,
First : %28highlight%282x%29-3%29%28highlight%283x%29-2%29=%282x%29%283x%29=6x%5E2
Outer : %28highlight%282x%29-3%29%283x%2Bhighlight%28-2%29%29=%282x%29%28-2%29=-4x
Inner : %282x%2Bhighlight%28-3%29%29%28highlight%283x%29-2%29=%28-3%29%283x%29=-9x
Outer : %282x%2Bhighlight%28-3%29%29%283x%2Bhighlight%28-2%29%29=%28-3%29%28-2%29=6
Add them all together,
%282x-3%29%283x-2%29=6x%5E2-4x-9x%2B6
%282x-3%29%283x-2%29=6x%5E2-13x%2B6
