Step 2.1

Move $x^{3}$ .

$4 (x^{3} x^{\frac{3}{2}}) + 4 x^{\frac{3}{2}} x^{2} - 6 x^{\frac{5}{2}} - 6 x^{\frac{3}{2}}$

Step 2.2

Use the power rule $a^{m} a^{n} = a^{m + n}$ to combine exponents.

$4 x^{3 + \frac{3}{2}} + 4 x^{\frac{3}{2}} x^{2} - 6 x^{\frac{5}{2}} - 6 x^{\frac{3}{2}}$

Step 2.3

To write $3$ as a fraction with a common denominator, multiply by $\frac{2}{2}$ .

$4 x^{3 \cdot \frac{2}{2} + \frac{3}{2}} + 4 x^{\frac{3}{2}} x^{2} - 6 x^{\frac{5}{2}} - 6 x^{\frac{3}{2}}$

Step 2.4

Combine $3$ and $\frac{2}{2}$ .

$4 x^{\frac{3 \cdot 2}{2} + \frac{3}{2}} + 4 x^{\frac{3}{2}} x^{2} - 6 x^{\frac{5}{2}} - 6 x^{\frac{3}{2}}$

Step 2.5

Combine the numerators over the common denominator.

$4 x^{\frac{3 \cdot 2 + 3}{2}} + 4 x^{\frac{3}{2}} x^{2} - 6 x^{\frac{5}{2}} - 6 x^{\frac{3}{2}}$
