Question

$$x(x+2)-3(x+2)$$

Evaluate

$\left(x-3\right)\left(x+2\right)$

Solution Steps

Use the distributive property to multiply $x$ by $x+2$.

$$x^{2}+2x-3\left(x+2\right)$$

Use the distributive property to multiply $-3$ by $x+2$.

$$x^{2}+2x-3x-6$$

Combine $2x$ and $-3x$ to get $-x$.

$$x^{2}-x-6$$

Expand

$x^{2}-x-6$

Solution Steps

Use the distributive property to multiply $x$ by $x+2$.

$$x^{2}+2x-3\left(x+2\right)$$

Use the distributive property to multiply $-3$ by $x+2$.

$$x^{2}+2x-3x-6$$

Combine $2x$ and $-3x$ to get $-x$.

$$x^{2}-x-6$$
