Asked by T-Swizzle
Show the correct and complete distribution for the problem: (2x + 3) (3x - 1) I don't want it to be solved. The only part I solved is the beginning part with starts of: 2x ⋅ 3. Please solve the rest and don't solve to the end just finish that part.

Certainly! To distribute the expression \((2x + 3)(3x - 1)\), we will use the distributive property (also known as the FOIL method for binomials). You already started with \(2x \cdot 3\). Here are the necessary steps in detail without solving to the end:
1. **First:** \(2x \cdot 3x = 6x^2\)
2. **Outer:** \(2x \cdot (-1) = -2x\)
3. **Inner:** \(3 \cdot 3x = 9x\)
4. **Last:** \(3 \cdot (-1) = -3\)
Now, putting it all together, the distribution gives us:
\[
6x^2 + (-2x) + 9x + (-3)
\]
This simplifies to:
\[
6x^2 - 2x + 9x - 3
\]
So you have:
\[
6x^2 + 7x - 3
\]
This expression represents the complete distribution of \((2x + 3)(3x - 1)\) without solving it all the way to a final answer.
