Step 1.1

Factor $- (b - 2)$ out of $- 3 b (b - 2)$ .

$- (b - 2) (3 b) + 7 {(b - 2)}^{2}$

Step 1.2

Factor $- (b - 2)$ out of $7 {(b - 2)}^{2}$ .

$- (b - 2) (3 b) - (b - 2) (- 7 (b - 2))$

Step 1.3

Factor $- (b - 2)$ out of $- (b - 2) (3 b) - (b - 2) (- 7 (b - 2))$ .

$- (b - 2) (3 b - 7 (b - 2))$

$- (b - 2) (3 b - 7 (b - 2))$

Step 2

Apply the distributive property.

$- (b - 2) (3 b - 7 b - 7 \cdot - 2)$

Step 3

Multiply $- 7$ by $- 2$ .

$- (b - 2) (3 b - 7 b + 14)$

Step 4
