2x^3+13x^2+20x+162x3+13x2+20x+16

Explanation:

We need to expand a bunch:

(x+2)^2 = x^2 + 4x+4(x+2)2=x2+4x+4

(x+4)^2=x^2 + 8x + 16(x+4)2=x2+8x+16

Substituting these:

3x(x^2 + 4x+4)-x^3+x^2 + 8x + 163x(x2+4x+4)x3+x2+8x+16

distributing:

3x^3 + 12x^2+12x-x^3+x^2 + 8x + 163x3+12x2+12xx3+x2+8x+16

collecting like terms:

2x^3+13x^2+20x+162x3+13x2+20x+16
