① | Multiply each term of $ \left( \color{blue}{2x-3}\right) $ by each term in $ \left( x-1\right) $. $$ \left( \color{blue}{2x-3}\right) \cdot \left( x-1\right) = 2x^2-2x-3x+3 $$ |
② | Combine like terms: $$ 2x^2 \color{blue}{-2x} \color{blue}{-3x} +3 = 2x^2 \color{blue}{-5x} +3 $$ |
③ | Multiply each term of $ \left( \color{blue}{2x^2-5x+3}\right) $ by each term in $ \left( x-3\right) $. $$ \left( \color{blue}{2x^2-5x+3}\right) \cdot \left( x-3\right) = 2x^3-6x^2-5x^2+15x+3x-9 $$ |
④ | Combine like terms: $$ 2x^3 \color{blue}{-6x^2} \color{blue}{-5x^2} + \color{red}{15x} + \color{red}{3x} -9 = 2x^3 \color{blue}{-11x^2} + \color{red}{18x} -9 $$ |
