Question

What is the product of (x + 3)(2x – 1)

Answer 1

Umm
(X+3)(2x-1)
=2x square -x + 6x - 3
=2x square +5x -3

Answer 2

Answer:

The product of  $(x + 3)(2x -1)=2x^2+5x-3$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : Two expressions (x + 3) and (2x – 1)

We have to find the product  of given expression that is  $(x + 3)(2x -1)$

Consider the given expression $(x + 3)(2x -1)$

Multiply each term of first bracket with each term of second bracket

$\left(a+b\right)\left(c+d\right)=ac+ad+bc+bd$

we have,

$=x\cdot \:2x+x\left(-1\right)+3\cdot \:2x+3\left(-1\right)$

Simplify, $-(-a)=+a$

we have $=2xx-1\cdot \:x+3\cdot \:2x-3\cdot \:1$

Simplify, we get,

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

Adding like terms, we have,

$=2x^2+5x-3$

Thus, the product of  $(x + 3)(2x -1)=2x^2+5x-3$
