(2x - 3y)(3x + 2y) = 2x*3x + 2x*2y - 3y*3x - 3y*2y
= 6x^2 + 4xy - 9xy - 6y^2
= 6x^2 - 5xy - 6y^2
You multiply each element in the first set of brackets by each element in the second set of brackets and then consolidate like terms and arrange them in sequence of powers, first x and then y. So:
2x by 3x = 6x squared
2x by 2y = 4xy
-3y by 3x = -9xy
-3y by 2y = 6y squared
6x squared -5xy + 6y squared
