First step is to collect like terms.
+%284x%5E3+%2B+5x+%2B13%29+%2B+%28-4x%5E2+%2B+22%29 expand and reo-rder with highest order terms first
4x%5E3+-4x%5E2+%2B+5x+%2B+13%2B22 simplify
4x%5E3+-+4x%5E2+%2B+5x+%2B+35 Now look for possible ways to factor
Nothing jumps out at me, so this is as simplified as I would make it
