Lets expand the left side of the equation first:
(3x - 5)(x + 2= 3x(x) + 3x(2) - 5(x) - 5(2= 3x^2 + 6x - 5x - 1= 3x^2 + x - 10
Now we see that the expanded form of (3x - 5)(x + 2) is 3x^2 + x - 10.
However, the right side of the equation is 3x^2.
Therefore, the equation (3x - 5)(x + 2) = 3x^2 is not true.

= 3x(x) + 3x(2) - 5(x) - 5(2
= 3x^2 + 6x - 5x - 1
= 3x^2 + x - 10
