We have,

y=ax3+bx2+cx+5                     dydx=3ax2+2bx+c

Since the curve y=ax3+bx2+cx+5 touches the x axis at  P(2,0). This means that the curve passes through P(2,0) and  xaxis is the tangent at P(2,0)
                     0=8a+4b2c+5                        8a4b+2c=5 And  (dydx)P=0

                       3a(2)2+2b×(2)+c=0                        12a4b+c=0

The curve y=ax3+bx2+cx+5 meets  yaxis at Q. 
Putting x=0 in y=ax3+bx2+cx+5, we get  y=5
Thus, the coordinates of Q are  (0,5)
It is given that the gradient of the curve at Q is 3.
                       (dydx)Q=3                     3a×0+2b×0+c=3                     c=3

Putting c=3 in (i) and (ii), we get 
8a4b=1 and 12a4b=3
Solving these two equations, we get a=12 and  b=34
Substituting the value of a, b and c in the equation of the curve, we obtain 
y=12x334x2+3x+5

As the equation of the curve.
