Question 1099577: Can someone please describe and correct the error of the following equation.
(3x-2)(2x-3)
=3x(2X-3)-2(2x-3)
=6x^2-9x-4x-6
=6x^2-13x-6
I think that the 4x should have been subtracted from the 9x.
Thanks.

%283x-2%29%282x-3%29=3x%282x-3%29-2%282x-3%29
%283x-2%29%282x-3%29=%286x%5E2-9x%29-%284x-6%29
%283x-2%29%282x-3%29=6x%5E2-9x-4x%2B6<-- The sign of the constant 6 should be positive not negative.
