You can put this solution on YOUR website!
The expression you show does not look as to correspond to anything on page 8 of your 22 page document. What is found <-deleted-> to factorize. Here goes the process anyway.

The expression actually shown there is this:
highlight_green%28x%5E-1-3%5Ex-2%2B2x%5E-3%29
which goes like this...
1%2Fx-3%2Fx%5E2%2B2%2Fx%5E3
and the instruction to factor 1/x^3 seems wrong...
%281%2Fx%29%281-3%2Fx%2B2%2Fx%5E2%29
and you should want to simplify this, maybe;
%281%2Fx%29%28x%5E2%2Fx%5E2-3x%2Fx%5E2%2B2%2Fx%5E2%29
%281%2Fx%29%28x%5E2-3x%2B2%29%2Fx%5E2
%281%2Fx%5E3%29%28x%5E2-3x%2B2%29
%281%2Fx%5E3%29%28x-1%29%28x-2%29
highlight%28x%5E%28-3%29%28x-1%29%28x-2%29%29
