lisabon 2012 [21]
Well area of a rectangle is given by the equation

a = L x W

Since they give us the expression for length and width we can find the expression for the area...

a = (3x - 4) x (2x - 5) or simply
a = (3x -4)(2x - 5)

Now we multiply

6x^2 - 15x - 8x + 20 =
6x^2 - 23x + 20

Your answer is C.
