rArr(color(red)(x+2))(x+3)⇒(x+2)(x+3)
=color(red)(x)(x+3)color(red)(+2)(x+3)larrcolor(blue)"distribute"=x(x+3)+2(x+3)←distribute
=(color(red)(x)xx x)+(color(red)(x)xx3)+(color(red)(2)xx x)+(color(red)(2)xx3)=(x×x)+(x×3)+(2×x)+(2×3)
=x^2color(magenta)(+3x)color(magenta)(+2x)+6larrcolor(blue)"collect like terms"=x2+3x+2x+6←collect like terms
=x^2+5x+6=x2+5x+6
