| ① | Multiply each term of $ \left( \color{blue}{6x-5}\right) $ by each term in $ \left( 2x+3\right) $. $$ \left( \color{blue}{6x-5}\right) \cdot \left( 2x+3\right) = 12x^2+18x-10x-15 $$ |
| ② | Combine like terms: $$ 12x^2+ \color{blue}{18x} \color{blue}{-10x} -15 = 12x^2+ \color{blue}{8x} -15 $$ |
