Question

multiply.
$(x + 6)(x^3 - 5x + 3)$
$(x + 6)(x^3 - 5x + 3) = \square$

Explanation:

Step1: Distribute $x$ to each term

$x(x^3 - 5x + 3) = x^4 - 5x^2 + 3x$

Step2: Distribute 6 to each term

$6(x^3 - 5x + 3) = 6x^3 - 30x + 18$

Step3: Combine all resulting terms

$x^4 - 5x^2 + 3x + 6x^3 - 30x + 18$

Step4: Combine like terms

$x^4 + 6x^3 - 5x^2 + (3x - 30x) + 18 = x^4 + 6x^3 - 5x^2 - 27x + 18$

Answer:

$x^4 + 6x^3 - 5x^2 - 27x + 18$
