Answer 1

 4c2+6c-3c2-2c-3 

Reformatting the input :

Changes made to your input should not affect the solution:

 (1): "c2"   was replaced by   "c^2".  1 more similar replacement(s).

Step by step solution :Step  1  :
Equation at the end of step  1  : ((((4•(c2))+6c)-3c2)-2c)-3 Step  2  :Equation at the end of step  2  : (((22c2 + 6c) - 3c2) - 2c) - 3 Step  3  :Trying to factor by splitting the middle term

 3.1     Factoring  c2+4c-3 

The first term is,  c2  its coefficient is  1 .
The middle term is,  +4c  its coefficient is  4 .
The last term, "the constant", is  -3 

Step-1 : Multiply the coefficient of the first term by the constant   1 • -3 = -3 

Step-2 : Find two factors of  -3  whose sum equals the coefficient of the middle term, which is   4 .

     -3   +   1   =   -2     -1   +   3   =   2
Final result : c2 + 4c - 3
