%284x%5E3+%2B+x+-+3x%5E2%29-%284x+-+2x%5E2+%2B+4x%5E3%29Multiply the -1 (the 1 is implied) by each term in the second bracket. (First bracket can be removed without any other action.)
4x%5E3+%2B+x+-+3x%5E2-4x+%2B+2x%5E2+-+4x%5E3 Add like terms
-3x+-+x%5E2 Re-order in decreasing powers of x
-x%5E2-3x
