Given the numerical statement:

2(x-3) square - 3(x+1)square

Solution:

This can be written as,

2( x - 3)^2 - 3 (x + 1)^2

In order to have the simplified answer, we first square the values inside the parentthesis,then multiply  it with its corresponding coefficient.

= 2( x - 3)^2 - 3 (x + 1)^2

= 2 ( x^2 - 6x + 9) - 3(x^2 + 2x + 1)

= 2x^2 - 12x + 18 - 3x^2 - 6x - 3

= -x^2 - 18x - 15

Final answer:

= -x^2 - 18x - 15
