I saw the word product and with out looking any further I am guessing that they multiplied out the two factors
(2x-3) (3x+2)
use foil
6x^2-9x+4x-6
there it is after you combine -9x and +4x

the product of
3 less than twice x: (2x-3)
2 more than the quantity 3 times x: (3x+2)
---
Product is (2x-3)(3x+2) = 6x^2+4x-9x-6 = 6x^2 -5x -6

"3 less than twice x" ___ 2x - 3
"2 more than the quantity 3 times x" ___ 3x + 2
product means multiplication
FOILing ___ 6x^2 + 4x - 9x - 6 ___ 6x^2 - 5x - 6
