Reorder the terms:
(a + 2x)(x + b) = 2x2 + -18

Reorder the terms:
(a + 2x)(b + x) = 2x2 + -18

Multiply (a + 2x) * (b + x)
(a(b + x) + 2x * (b + x)) = 2x2 + -18
((b * a + x * a) + 2x * (b + x)) = 2x2 + -18
((ab + ax) + 2x * (b + x)) = 2x2 + -18
(ab + ax + (b * 2x + x * 2x)) = 2x2 + -18
(ab + ax + (2bx + 2x2)) = 2x2 + -18
(ab + ax + 2bx + 2x2) = 2x2 + -18
