y=6x^2+23x-55

Explanation:

Standard form is y=ax^2+bx+c

So you want to multiply the two factors together.
You can use Foil where you multiply the first two terms then the outer, inner, and last terms. Then add them together

3x*2x=6x

3x*11=33x

-5*2x=-10x

-5*11=-55

y=6x^2+33x+(-10x)+(-55)

Combine like terms

y=6x^2+23x-55
