6x213x+6 is the final answer :)

Explanation:

There's a shortcut you can use here, known as the " FOIL " method (that stands for F irst, O uter, I nner, L ast.). The product of two binomials is the sum of four simpler products.

The word FOIL is an acronym for the four terms of the product.

Firsts: 3x×2x=6x2
Outsides: 3x×3=9x
Insides: 2×2x=4x
Lasts: 2×3=6

Add all these up, and you'll get the answer:

=6x2+(9x)+(4x)+6

=6x29x4x+6

=6x213x+6
