Im a bit stuck on this question. Im fine when I need to simplify, but I guess its when I combine terms where I go wrong. May I get some help?

Multiply everything out first.
12x^3+8x^2+4x+6x^2+4x+2

Reorganize to make this easier.
(12x^3)+(8x^2+6x^2)+(4x+4x)+(2)

Combine like terms.
12x^3+14x^2+8x+2

Hope this helps!
