This question has several parts that must be completed sequentially.
(x + 2)(x − 9)(x − 4)
First, use the FOIL shortcut pattern as follows to find the product of the latter two binomials.
Step 1. Multiply x · x.
Step 2. Multiply −9 · x and −4 · x and combine.
Step 3. Multiply (−9) · (−4).
x + 2)(x − 9)(x − 4) = (x + 2) ( x^2 - _____ x + ____ )
