Find the coefficient of $x$ when $(7+8x)-3(2+6x+2x^2)+9(1+3x+4x^2+12x^3)-9(7-x^2-8x^3+13x^4)$ is simplified.

and...

 

Expand $(2z^2 + 5z - 6)(3z^3 - 2z + 1)$.

You should get

6z^5 + 15z^4 -22z^3 -8z^2 + 17z - 6

For the second one......just disribute the first term in the first set of parentheses across each term in the second set of parentheses.

Do the same with the second term......and then with the third term.........combine like terms when you finish......
