First, we multiply the second bracket by x from the first bracket,

\displaystyle (\bbox[#FFEEAA;,1.5pt]{\strut x}+\bbox[#FFFFFF;,1.5pt]{\strut 2})(3x^{2}-x+5) = \bbox[#FFEEAA;,1.5pt]{\strut x\cdot 3x^{2}-x\cdot x+x\cdot 5}+{}\rlap{\cdots}\phantom{\bbox[#FFEEAA;,1.5pt]{\strut 2\cdot 3x^{2}-2\cdot x+2\cdot 5}\,\textrm{.}}

Then, do the same for 2 from the first bracket

\displaystyle (\bbox[#FFFFFF;,1.5pt]x+\bbox[#FFEEAA;,1.5pt]{\strut 2})(3x^{2}-x+5) = \secondcbox{#FFFFFF;}{\strut x\cdot 3x^{2}-x\cdot x+x\cdot 5}{3x^{3}-x^{2}+5x}+\bbox[#FFEEAA;,1.5pt]{\strut 2\cdot 3x^{2}-2\cdot x+2\cdot 5}\,\textrm{.}

Now, collect together x³-, x²-, x- and the constant terms

\displaystyle 3x^{3}+(-1+6)x^{2}+(5-2)x+10=3x^{3}+5x^{2}+3x+10\,\textrm{.}

The coefficient in front of x² is 5 and the coefficient in front of x is 3.
