Homework Help: algebra problem that is causing me headaches

I have no real method for this problem other than trail and error and foil.

I have come up with some amny variations until I am on my second sheet of paper!

The closet I have gotten to factoring/solving this problem so far is....

#46.)
-3t^3+3t^2-6t

Is there a method to this madness@!?
