Simplifying this expression gives us $6 a^{2} + a - 2$ $6a^2+a-2$

Use FOIL method

$(2 a - 1) (3 a + 2)$ $(2a-1)(3a+2)$
$6 a^{2} + 4 a - 3 a - 2$ $6a^2+4a-3a-2$
$6 a^{2} + a - 2$ $6a^2+a-2$

$6 a^{2} + a - 2$ $6a^2 + a - 2$

$(2 a - 1) (3 a + 2)$ $(2a - 1) (3a + 2)$

$2 a (3 a + 2) - 1 (3 a + 2)$ $2a(3a + 2) -1(3a + 2)$

Using FOIL;

$6 a^{2} + 4 a - 3 a - 2$ $6a^2 + 4a - 3a - 2$

Simplifying;

$6 a^{2} + a - 2$ $6a^2 + a - 2$
