-3(x+2)(x-4)(x-2)(x+6)

-3(x+2)(x-2)(x-4)(x+6)

-3(x^2+2x-2x-4)(x-4)(x+6)

-3(x^2-4)(x-4)(x+6)

-3(x^2-4)(x^2+2x-24)

-3(x^4+2x^3-24x^2-4x^2-8x+96)

-3(x^4+2x^3-28x^2-8x+96)

-3x^4-6x^3+384x^2+24x-288 (I think?)

just like you expand

(a+b)(c+d) = ac+ad + bc+bd

you can expand

(a+b)(c+d+e) = ac+ad+ae + bc+bd+be
