+%289q%5E3+-+4%29+-+%287q%5E2+-+5%29+%2B+%287q%5E3+%2B+2q%5E2%29+ Start with the given equation.


+9q%5E3+-+4+-+7q%5E2+%2B+5+%2B+7q%5E3+%2B+2q%5E2+ Distribute the negative


%289q%5E3%2B7q%5E3%29%2B%28-7q%5E2%2B2q%5E2%29%2B%28-4%2B5%29 Group the common terms


16q%5E3-5q%5E2%2B1 Combine like terms



So %289q%5E3+-+4%29+-+%287q%5E2+-+5%29+%2B+%287q%5E3+%2B+2q%5E2%29=16q%5E3-5q%5E2%2B1
