=x^2+5x+6

Explanation:

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
