The given expression is

(3x + 2)(2x - 7)

A trinomial is a polynomal equation with 3 terms. We would turn the given expression into a trinomial by multiplying each term in the first bracket by each term in the second bracket and adding or subtracting where necessary. It becomes

3x * 2x + 3x * - 7 + 2 * 2x + 2 * - 7

6x^2 - 21x + 4x - 14

6x^2 - 17x - 14

The trinomial is 6x^2 - 17x - 14
