Question 253921: I have not seen this written out in words like this before. I have the answer but don 't know how they got it. the question is: which of the following expressions represents the product of 3 less than twice x and 2 more than the quantity 3 times x? the answer is 6x^2-5x-6.

You can put this solution on YOUR website! 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
You can put this solution on YOUR website! 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
