Explanation:


x(x + 3) + x(2x - 4) + 6

First, let's distribute the
x variable to each term in the first parenthesis:


x^(2) + 3x + x(2x - 4) + 6

Next, let's distribute the
x variable to each term in the second parenthesis:


x^(2) + 3x + 2x^(2) - 4x + 6

Next, let's group like terms together:


(x^(2) + 2x^(2)) + (3x - 4x) + (6)

Finally, let's add or subtract like terms to get the result:


3x^(2) - x + 6
