"the product of" tells you to multiply. Eg: "The product of 2 and 3" ---> 2*3=6
"3 less than twice x" translates to and "2 more than the quantity 3 times x" becomes
Since we want the "product of" these two separate expressions, this means that "the product of 3 less than twice x and 2 more than the quantity 3 times x" completely translates to (ie just multiply the two expressions).
That's just the translation, you might have to expand/FOIL it out. I'll let you do that (if you need to). Let me know if you need help with that.

OK
twice x is 2x
Three less than twice x is 2x-3
The quantity 3 times x is 3x
Two more than the quantity 3 times x is 3x+2
