Answer:

-3x^{4}+2x^{3}+4x^{2}

Explanation:

Re-order terms so constants are on the left

-x^{2}\left( 3x^{2}-2x-4\right)

-x^{2}\left( 3x^{2}-2x-4\right)

2

Distribute

-\textcolor{#C58AF9}{x^{2}\left( 3x^{2}-2x-4\right) }

-\left( \textcolor{#C58AF9}{3x^{4}-2x^{3}-4x^{2}}\right)

3

Distribute

-\left( 3x^{4}-2x^{3}-4x^{2}\right)

-3x^{4}+2x^{3}+4x^{2}
