x2(x1)

Explanation:

First, we see that there's a factor of x we can easily cancel:
x3x2x+x=x3x2

From there, we can also factor out x2:
x3x2=x2(x1)

Since each of these is fully factored, we are done.

x2(x1)

Explanation:

This expression can be simplified to

x3x2

From here, we notice that both terms have an x2 in common, which we can factor out. At this point, we are essentially dividing.

We get

x2(x1)

Hope this helps!
