simplifying usually means factoring: 
Whenever you need to factor an expression with four terms, the first step is to try grouping which happens to work in this case. 
group (10x^3 and -15x) together with(-12x^2 and +18), then factor 
5x(2x^2-3)-6(2x^2-3) 
factor out common term,(2x^2-3) 
ans:(2x^2-3)(5x-6)
