Explanation:

"each term in the second bracket is multiplied by each"each term in the second bracket is multiplied by each
"term in the first bracket"term in the first bracket

rArr(color(red)(3x+2))(2x-3)(3x+2)(2x3)

=color(red)(3x)(2x-3)color(red)(+2)(2x-3)larrcolor(blue)"distribute"=3x(2x3)+2(2x3)distribute

=(color(red)(3x)xx2x)+(color(red)(3x)xx-3)+(color(red)(2)xx2x)+(color(red)(2)xx-3)=(3x×2x)+(3x×3)+(2×2x)+(2×3)

=6x^2color(blue)(-9x)color(blue)(+4x)-6larrcolor(magenta)"collect like terms"=6x29x+4x6collect like terms

=6x^2-5x-6=6x25x6
