You just multiply first one element by all the elements in the other factor, then proceed the same way.

For example, let's just rearrange it as (2x-3)(5+x^2-3x)(2x3)(5+x23x)

First, we multiply 2x2x by all the (5+x^2-3x)(5+x23x) factor, and then we do the same for -33.

So,
2x(5+x^2-2x)=10x+2x^3-4x^2)2x(5+x22x)=10x+2x34x2)
-3(5+x^2-2x)=-15-3x^2+6x3(5+x22x)=153x2+6x

Now, we just sum these results up, combining those elements with the same exponent in the variable xx.

Final answer: 2x^3-7x^2+16x-152x37x2+16x15
