Simplify the expression: (x + 3)(2x - 1)
a) 7x2 - 3
b) 2x2 - 7x - 3
c) 2x2 - 5x - 3
d) 2x2 + 5x - 3

D) 2x^2 + 5x - 3

Step-by-step explanation:

Multiply everything in the first set of parentheses by everything in the second set of parentheses. x(2x) + x(-1) + 3(2x) + 3(-1) = 2x^2 - x + 6x - 3. Combine like terms. The correct answer is 2x^2 + 5x - 3.

(x + 3)(2x - 1)

2x^2 - x + 6x - 3

=2x^2 + 5x - 3
