Which of the following is not a way to distribute the multiplication of $(3x - 2)(-x^3 - 2x^2 + x)$ ?

Choose one answer

$(3x)(x^3) + (3x)(2x^2) + (3x)(x) + (2)(-x^3) + (2)(2x^2) + (2)(x)$

$(3x)(-x^3) + (3x)(-2x^2) + (3x)(x) +\\ (-2)(-x^3) + (-2)(-2x^2) + (-2)(x)$

$(3x)(-x^3) - (3x)(2x^2) + (3x)(x) - (2)(-x^3) - (2)(-2x^2) - (2)(x)$

$(-x^3)(3x) + (-x^3)(-2) + (-2x^2)(3x) +\\ (-2x^2)(-2) + (x)(3x) + (x)(-2)$
