Question

distribute.
(x + 3)(x + 2)
options:
x² + 6x + 5
x² + 8x + 6
6x²+ 6
x² + 5x + 6

Explanation:

Step1: Apply FOIL method

$(x+3)(x+2) = x\cdot x + x\cdot2 + 3\cdot x + 3\cdot2$

Step2: Calculate each term

$= x^2 + 2x + 3x + 6$

Step3: Combine like terms

$= x^2 + (2x+3x) + 6 = x^2 + 5x + 6$

Answer:

D. $x^2 + 5x + 6$
