Instead of multiplying together the whole expression, and then reading off the coefficients, we investigate which terms from the three brackets together give terms in x¹ and x².
If we start with the term in x, we see that there is only one combination of a term from each bracket which, when multiplied, gives x¹,
![]() ![]()  +x 1 2+![]() ![]() ![]()  | 
so, the coefficient in front of x is 
2=2
As for x², we also have only one possible combination
![]() ![]()  +x 3x 2+![]() ![]() ![]()  | 
The coefficient in front of x² is 
2=6
