See the solution process below:

Explanation:

To multiply these two terms you multiply each individual term in the left parenthesis by each individual term in the right parenthesis.

(color(red)(-x^3) - color(red)(2))(color(blue)(x^2) + color(blue)(3x) - color(blue)(3))(−x3−2)(x2+3x−3) becomes:

-(color(red)(x^3) xx color(blue)(x^2)) - (color(red)(x^3) xx color(blue)(3x)) + (color(red)(x^3) xx color(blue)(3)) - (color(red)(2) xx color(blue)(x^2)) - (color(red)(2) xx color(blue)(3x)) + (color(red)(2) xx color(blue)(3))−(x3×x2)−(x3×3x)+(x3×3)−(2×x2)−(2×3x)+(2×3)

-x^5 - 3x^4 + 3x^3 - 2x^2 - 6x + 6−x5−3x4+3x3−2x2−6x+6
