Math Problem Statement

x(9x2−3x−6)

Solution

To simplify the expression x(9x23x6)x(9x^2 - 3x - 6), we distribute xx to each term inside the parentheses:

x(9x2)x(3x)x(6)x(9x^2) - x(3x) - x(6)

Now, simplify each term:

  1. x9x2=9x3x \cdot 9x^2 = 9x^3
  2. x(3x)=3x2x \cdot (-3x) = -3x^2
  3. x(6)=6xx \cdot (-6) = -6x

Thus, the simplified expression is:

9x33x26x9x^3 - 3x^2 - 6x
