This is the equation: 3x-2=5x+15
you combine like terms: 3x-3x-2=5x-3x+15 
the 3x on the left cancles out: -2=2x+15 
subtract 15 on both sides: -2-15=2x+15-15 
the 15 on the right cancles out:--17=2x 
divide by 2: -17/2=2x/2 
x equals negative 8.5: x=-8.5

Multiplying the terms with each other we get,

$2x(x+2)(x-3)\\=2x(x^2 -3x+2x-6)\\=2x(x^2 -x -6)\\=2x^3 -2x^2 -12x$

Option 4 is the correct option.
