-----
you will get:
x^2 + 5x + 6
-----
(x+3) * (x+2) is processed as follows:
-----
work from one factor to the other.
each term in one factor is multiplied by each term in the other factor.
-----
I'll work from (x+3)
-----
x*x = x^2
x*2 = 2x
3*x = 3x
3*2 = 6
-----
I add them together and combine like terms to get:
x^2 + 5x + 6
-----
Each term in the first factor multiplied each term in the second factor exactly one time each.
