PLEASEE HELP ANYONE

Using the distributive property, Marta multiplied the binomial (2x + 3) by the trinomial (x^2 + x – 2) and got the expression below.
(2x)(x^2) + (2x)(x) + (2x)(–2) + (3)(x^2) + (3)(x) + (3)(–2)
Which is the simplified product?
A 2x^3+ 6x^2 – x – 6
B 2x^3 + x^2 – x – 6
C 2x^3 + 5x^2 – x – 6
D2x^3 – x^2 – 7x – 6

Answer 1

(2x)(x²) + (2x)(x) + (2x)(–2) + (3)(x²) + (3)(x) + (3)(–2) =
=2x³ + 2x² - 4x + 3x² + 3x - 6 = 2x³ + 5x² - x - 6

Answer 2

Yes; the correct answer is: [C]: " 2x³ + 5x² + x – 6 " .
_____________________________________________
Step-by-step explanation:
_____________________________________________
(2x + 3)(x² + x – 2) =

(2x)(x²) + (2x)(x) + (2x)(–2) + (3)(x²) + (3)(x) + (3)(–2) =

2x³ + 2x² – 4x + 3x² + 3x – 6 = ?

Combine the "like terms" "

+2x² + 3x² = + 5x² ;

– 4x + 3x = + x

and we have:

" 2x³ + 5x² + x – 6 " ; which is: Answer choice: [C] .
