#=x^2+5x+6#

Here, we have to multiply each term in bracket 1 with each term in bracket 2.

#(x+2)(x+3)#

#=x xx(x+3)+2xx(x+3)#

Next, multiply the term on the outside of the brackets, with each term inside the bracket:

#=(x xx x) + (x xx 3) +(2 xx x) + (2 xx 3)#

#=x^2+3x+2x+6#

Combine the terms:

#=x^2+5x+6#
