What have you tried? How far have you gotten? Where are you stuck?

When you reply with a clear listing of your steps, kindly please provide a correction of the posted expression. Currently, there is an unmatched close-paren. While I suspect that the first "term" of the expression is meant to be "(x - 2)(x - 8)", I don't want to guess. Thank you!
