campbell_st · Answer

what you can do is split one of the binomials and then apply the distributive property

if 

f(x) = (x + 3)(x -2)

split the 1st binomial 

f(x) = x(x -2) + 3(x -2)

now apply the distributive property to get 

$$f(x) = x^2 - 2x + 3x - 6$$

which simplifies to 

$$f(x) = x^2+ x - 6$$
