Using the Distributive Property, we have:
(x - 2)(2x + 3) = x(2x + 3) - 2(2x + 3)
= 2x^2 + 3x - 4x - 6
= 2x^2 - x - 6
Therefore, the simplified form is a. 2x^2 - x - 6.
What is the simplified form of (x - 2)(2x + 3)? Use the Distributive Property.
a. 2x^2 - x - 6
b. 2x^2 - 6
c. 2x^2 - 7x - 6
d. 2x^2 + x - 6
