| ① | Multiply each term of $ \left( \color{blue}{2x-1}\right) $ by each term in $ \left( 2x^2-5x-3\right) $. $$ \left( \color{blue}{2x-1}\right) \cdot \left( 2x^2-5x-3\right) = 4x^3-10x^2-6x-2x^2+5x+3 $$ |
| ② | Combine like terms: $$ 4x^3 \color{blue}{-10x^2} \color{red}{-6x} \color{blue}{-2x^2} + \color{red}{5x} +3 = 4x^3 \color{blue}{-12x^2} \color{red}{-x} +3 $$ |
