To simplify this expression, we will apply a method called FOIL.

FOIL stands for First, Outer, Inner, Last.

If we multiply the first terms, we get a^2.

If we multiply the outer terms, we'll get 3ab.

If we multiply the inner terms, we'll get 2ab.

If we multiply the last terms, we'll get 6b².

The result is a² + 3ab + 2ab + 6b².

Answer:

  • a² + 5ab + 6b²
