Answer 1

multiply each thing in first bracket by each in the second one

Answer 2

a*a+a*(-2)+3*a+3*(-2)= compute the rest yourself...

Answer 3

First: a*a = a^2

Outer: a*(-2) = -2a

Inner: 3*a = 3a

Last: 3*(-2) = -6


Add up the terms


a^2+(-2a)+3a+(-6)


a^2+a-6


So the answer is a^2+a-6

(a+3)(a-2)
a^2-2a+3a-6
a^2+a-6

Answer 5
