The given expression can be written as:

(y + 3)(y - 2)(y - 4)

We multiply the first two terms in the parenthesis using the distributive property.

[(y + 3)(y - 2)] (y - 4)

%28y%5E2+%2B+3y+-+2y+-+6%29 (y - 4)

Simplifying, further we get:

%28y%5E2+%2B+y+-+6%29%28y+-+4%29


Multiplying by using the Distributive property, we get:


%28y%5E3+%2B+y%5E2+-+6y+-+4y%5E2+-+4y+%2B+24%29


%28y%5E3+-+3y%5E2+-+10y+%2B+24%29

Thus, the solution.
