$(x - 6) (x^{2} - 5 x + 3)$

Step 1

Expand $(x - 6) (x^{2} - 5 x + 3)$ by multiplying each term in the first expression by each term in the second expression.

$x \cdot x^{2} + x (- 5 x) + x \cdot 3 - 6 x^{2} - 6 (- 5 x) - 6 \cdot 3$

Step 2.1.1.1.1

Raise $x$ to the power of $1$ .

$x^{1} x^{2} + x (- 5 x) + x \cdot 3 - 6 x^{2} - 6 (- 5 x) - 6 \cdot 3$

Step 2.1.1.1.2

Use the power rule $a^{m} a^{n} = a^{m + n}$ to combine exponents.

$x^{1 + 2} + x (- 5 x) + x \cdot 3 - 6 x^{2} - 6 (- 5 x) - 6 \cdot 3$

Step 2.1.1.2

Add $1$ and $2$ .

$x^{3} + x (- 5 x) + x \cdot 3 - 6 x^{2} - 6 (- 5 x) - 6 \cdot 3$

Step 2.1.2

Rewrite using the commutative property of multiplication.

$x^{3} - 5 x \cdot x + x \cdot 3 - 6 x^{2} - 6 (- 5 x) - 6 \cdot 3$

Step 2.1.3.1

Move $x$ .

$x^{3} - 5 (x \cdot x) + x \cdot 3 - 6 x^{2} - 6 (- 5 x) - 6 \cdot 3$

Step 2.1.3.2

Multiply $x$ by $x$ .

$x^{3} - 5 x^{2} + x \cdot 3 - 6 x^{2} - 6 (- 5 x) - 6 \cdot 3$

Step 2.1.4

Move $3$ to the left of $x$ .

$x^{3} - 5 x^{2} + 3 \cdot x - 6 x^{2} - 6 (- 5 x) - 6 \cdot 3$

Step 2.1.5

Multiply $- 5$ by $- 6$ .

$x^{3} - 5 x^{2} + 3 x - 6 x^{2} + 30 x - 6 \cdot 3$

Step 2.1.6

Multiply $- 6$ by $3$ .

$x^{3} - 5 x^{2} + 3 x - 6 x^{2} + 30 x - 18$
