What is the product? (x + 3)(2 x minus 1) 2 x squared minus 3 2 x squared + 6 x 2 x squared + 5 x minus 3 2 x squared + 6 x minus 3

2x² + 5x - 3

Step-by-step explanation:

(x + 3)(2x - 1)

Use FOIL

First terms

x * 2x = 2x²

Outer terms

x * -1 = -x

Inner terms

3 * 2x = 6x

Last terms

3 * -1 = -3

FOIL

2x² - x + 6x - 3

Combine like terms

2x² + 5x - 3

the correct answer is 5
