I am not sure about the question but...

Explanation:

This is a product of three factors that could be multiplied together to form an algebraic expression; note that you cannot find #x#, in fact, to do that you'd need to have an equal and a part after the equal to be able to equate your expression to a certain value (such as: #3x+2color(red)(=1)#).

Anyway, we can multiply the first term times the second (using the distributive property) as:

#(2x-1)(x+5)=2x^2+10x-x-5=2x^2+9x-5#

and then multiply this result by the third and last term as:

#(2x^2+9x-5)(3x-2)=6x^3-4x^2+27x^2-18x-15x+10=6x^3+23x^2-33x+10#

this is as far as you can go and you cannot get values for #x#!
