Multiply and simplify.
6x%5E2%282x%5E3+-+8x+%2B+5%29 Distribute 6x^2 to every term in the parenthesis.
6x%5E2%282x%5E3%29%2B6x%5E2%28-8x%29%2B6x%5E2%285%29 When multiplying terms add the exponents of like bases.
12x%5E5-48x%5E3%2B30x%5E2 None of these are like terms, so your done.
Happy Calculating!!!
