let Z=the correct expression
3 less than 2x=2x-3
2 more than the quantity 3 times x=3x+2
The product of the above two quantities is (2x-3)(3x+2)
Now we are told that:
Z=(2x-3)(3x+2) Using the FOIL method, we will expand the right side
Z=6x^2+4x-9x-6 collect like terms:
Z=6x^2-5x-6 --------------------------------d should be the answer
