| ① | Multiply $ \color{blue}{5x} $ by $ \left( 3x^2+2\right) $ $$ \color{blue}{5x} \cdot \left( 3x^2+2\right) = 15x^3+10x $$ |
| ② | Remove the parentheses by changing the sign of each term within them. $$ - \left( 8x^3+10x \right) = -8x^3-10x $$ |
| ③ | Combine like terms: $$ \color{blue}{15x^3} + \, \color{red}{ \cancel{10x}} \, \color{blue}{-8x^3} \, \color{red}{ -\cancel{10x}} \, = \color{blue}{7x^3} $$ |
