For a polynomial of the form ax2+bx+c, rewrite the middle term as a sum of two terms whose product is ac=2-3=-6 and whose sum is b=1.

2x2-2x+3x-3

Factor out the greatest common factor from each group.

2x(x-1)+3(x-1)

Factor the polynomial by factoring out the greatest common factor, x-1.

(x−1)(2x+3)
