#2x^2+4x+2#

Write as:#" "color(brown)(color(blue)((2x+1))(x+3)-color(green)((3x-1))(3x-1))#

#color(brown)(color(blue)(2x)(x+3)color(blue)(+1)(x+3)-[color(green)(3x)(3x-1)color(green)(-1)(3x-1)] #

#color(brown)(color(blue)(2x)(x+3)color(blue)(+1)(x+3)-color(green)(3x)(3x-1)color(green)(+1)(3x-1)#

#2x^2+6x+x+3-9x+3x+3x-1#

Grouping terms

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

#2x^2+4x+2#
