Answer:

4x³ + 8x² - 7x + 6

Step-by-step explanation:

remove the brackets by distributing the sign.

4x³ + 5x² + 2 + 3x² - 7x + 4

4x³ + 8x² - 7x + 6

Gather like terms.

If you want to factorise (optional)

4x³ + 8x² - 7x + 6 =

4x²(1 + 2x) - 6x + 3 + 3 - x

4x²(1 + 2x) - 3(1 + 2x) + 9 - x

(4x² - 3) (1 + 2x) + 9 - x
