See the entire solution process below:

To multiply these two terms you multiply each individual term in the left parenthesis by each individual term in the right parenthesis.

$(color(red)(3n) + color(red)(2))(color(blue)(2n) + color(blue)(3))$ becomes:

$(color(red)(3n) xx color(blue)(2n)) + (color(red)(3n) xx color(blue)(3)) + (color(red)(2) xx color(blue)(2n)) + (color(red)(2) xx color(blue)(3))$

$6n^2 + 9n + 4n + 6$

We can now combine like terms:

$6n^2 + (9 + 4)n + 6$

$6n^2 + 13n + 6$

How do you multiply (3n + 2)(2n + 3)(3n + 2)(2n + 3)?
