Do you mean 2x^2(−4x^4 + 6x^3 − 2x^2)? The equals sign in your original looks like a typo.

If so:
2x^2(−4x^4 + 6x^3 − 2x^2)
= −8x^6 + 12x^5 − 4x^4
= −4x^4(2x^2 − 3x + 1)
= −4x^4(2x − 1)(x − 1).

If you meant something else, tell me the correct expression (or whether that was an equation) and I’ll simplify/solve it.
