Answer:

1320

Step-by-step explanation:

First, we need to find the value of x. So, solving for x, we get:

3x + 5 = 13

3x + 5 - 5 = 13 - 5

3x = 8

Then, we can replace the value of 3x by 8 in the expression as:


\begin{gathered} (3x+2)(3x+3)(3x+4) \\ (8+2)(8+3)(8+4) \\ (10)(11)(12) \\ 1320 \end{gathered}

So, the value of the expression is 1320.
