answer attempt 1 out of 2
submit answer

Explanation:

Step1: Multiply first two factors

Multiply \((x + 1)\) and \((2x - 5)\) using the distributive property (FOIL method):

$$
LATEXBLOCK0
$$

Step2: Multiply the result by \((x - 3)\)

Now multiply \(2x^2 - 3x - 5\) with \((x - 3)\):

$$
LATEXBLOCK1
$$

Answer:

\(2x^3 - 9x^2 + 4x + 15\)
