Split them up! Instead of thinking of he numbers as (2X^4 - X^5)/64, try thinking of them as (2X^4/64) + (-X^5)/64. It'll make your life SO much easier.
And just use the regular rules of integrating from that point on. The trick is just knowing that you can split them up.

Factor out the 1/64 out of the integral (since it's a constant), THEN you may split them up. Just remember to multiply both split integrals by 1/64 AFTER you're done integrating.

Remember: when people tell you something’s wrong or doesn’t work for them, they are almost always right. When they tell you exactly what they think is wrong and how to fix it, they are almost always wrong. — Neil Gaiman
