Hi there! The answer is 10.
We can use PEMDAS (Parenthesis, exponents, multiply, divide, add, subtract) to find our answer.
Since we cannot work inside the parenthesis in this question and since we don't have exponents, we can move on to multiplying.
Our next step would be subtracting. To make the process of subtracting some easier, I'll first change the fraction into a decimal.
Finally subtract.
The answer is 10.

Problem 13
If we want to multiply (x^3-3x^2+2x) with (x^3-2x^2+x), then we can set up a diagram shown below. The terms are along the outside. The stuff inside is the result of multiplying each pair of outer terms.
- Example: x^3 times x^3 = x^6 in the top left corner
- Another example: 2x times x = 2x^2 in the bottom right corner.
This is known as the box method to keep track of all the terms multiplied.
Once the table is filled out, we add up each term inside the boxes. Combine like terms if possible. Notice that I color-coded the like terms (eg: the x^3 terms are in green boxes).
The final answer is x^6 - 5x^5 + 9x^4 - 7x^3 + 2x^2
