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)(2x−3)
=color(red)(3x)(2x-3)color(red)(+2)(2x-3)larrcolor(blue)"distribute"=3x(2x−3)+2(2x−3)←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"=6x2−9x+4x−6←collect like terms
=6x^2-5x-6=6x2−5x−6
