This depends where the brackets go. If the equation you want to simplify is (2x)(x2) + 9 then we just multiply the parts in the brackets. When you multiply powers you add the power, so this is 2x3+9

If the equation is 2x(x2+9) then we need to multiply each part of the bracket by 2x. This gives 2x3+18x
