The first step for solving this expression is to multiply each term in the first parenthesis by each term in the second parenthesis (FOIL method)
3n × 3n + 3n × 2 - 3n - 2
Calculate the product of the first two numbers.
9n² + 3n × 2 - 3n - 2
Calculate the product of the next set of multiplication.
9n² + 6n - 3n - 2
Collect the like terms that have a variable of n to get your final answer.
9n² + 3n - 2
This means that the correct answer to your question is going to be 9n² + 3n - 2.
Let me know if you have any further questions.

The answer to this question is 9n^2+3n-2. We expand this polynomial factored with the distributive property
(3n-1)(3n+2) = 3n(3n-1)+2(3n-1) = 9n^2 - 3n + 6n - 2 = 9n^2 + 3n - 2
