We can use the highly useful mnemonic FOIL (Firsts, Outsides, Insides, Lasts). This is the order we multiply in. We get
Multiply the first terms: xx=x2
Multiply the outside terms: x*-3=-3x
Multiply the inside terms: -2*x=-2x
Multiply the last terms: -2*-3=6
Putting it all together, we get
x23x2x+6, or x25x+6
