Just like that? Any question, inbox. :p
First, take a look at 3 less than twice x. Twice x would be 2x and 3 less than it would become 2x-3.
Next, 2 more than the quantity 3 times x. The quantity of 3 times x is 3x and 2 more than that would be 3x+2.
Now that we have our two equations, we need to multiply them together, which can be shown as (2x-3)(3x+2).
Then, multiply the two equations together using FOIL (multiply the first two terms, then the outside terms, then inside, and lastly, the last two terms): 2x times 3x, 2x times 2, -3x times 3x, and 2 times -3, which equates to 6x^2+4x-9x-6.
Your final answer is 6x^2-5x-6.
Step-by-step explanation:
the problem description is incomplete or wrongly copied.
we don't know the thickness of the boards, and we cannot understand what we need to calculate, and what the answer options are.
It’s the last option (-6m-n+3)
