First, multiply the brackets together. In the first product, every term in the first bracket is multiplied by every term in the second bracket,

\displaystyle \begin{align}

(x-4)(x-5)-3x(2x-3)&= x\cdot x-x\cdot 5- 4\cdot x-4\cdot (-5)-(3x \cdot 2x-3x\cdot 3)\\ &= x^2-5x-4x+20-(6x^2-9x)\\ &=x^2-5x-4x+20-6x^2+9x\,\textrm{.} \end{align}

Then, gather together x²-, x- and the constant terms and simplify

\displaystyle \begin{align}

\phantom{(x-4)(x-5)-3x(2x-3)}&= (x^2-6x^2)+(-5x-4x+9x)+20 \\ &= -5x^2+0+20\\ &= \rlap{-5x^2+20\,\textrm{.}}\phantom{x\cdot x-x\cdot 5- 4\cdot x-4\cdot (-5)-(3x \cdot 2x-3x\cdot 3)} \end{align}
