Let's solve the problem step by step.

We are given the expression:

$$
(x + 2)(x - 3)
$$

We need to expand this product and simplify it.

Step 1: Use the distributive property (FOIL method)



FOIL stands for:
- First: $x \cdot x = x^2$
- Outside: $x \cdot (-3) = -3x$
- Inside: $2 \cdot x = 2x$
- Last: $2 \cdot (-3) = -6$

Now add them all together:

$$
x^2 - 3x + 2x - 6
$$

Step 2: Combine like terms



$$
x^2 - x - 6
$$

So, the expanded form of $(x + 2)(x - 3)$ is:

$$
x^2 - x - 6
$$

But wait — the options given in your question are:

- $-x - 6$
- $+x - 6$
- $-5x - 6$
- $-6$

These are linear expressions, but our result is a quadratic: $x^2 - x - 6$. That means none of the listed options match the full expansion.

However, perhaps there was a typo or misunderstanding. Let’s double-check: maybe the original problem was asking for something else?

Wait — perhaps the expression was meant to be simplified without the $x^2$ term, or maybe the question was miswritten.

Alternatively, could the question have been asking for the constant term or value at a specific point? But based on what's written, we're asked:
> "Which expression is equal to the product below?"

And the product is $(x+2)(x-3)$, which expands to $x^2 - x - 6$.

But none of the choices match that.

Let’s check if any of the options might be related.

Looking at the options:

- $-x - 6$: This is similar to the linear part of the expansion.
- $+x - 6$: Not matching.
- $-5x - 6$: No.
- $-6$: Just the constant.

But again, none of these are equal to $(x+2)(x-3)$ as a whole.

Conclusion:



The correct expansion is:

$$
(x + 2)(x - 3) = x^2 - x - 6
$$

But none of the given options match this.

However, if the question had a typo and was actually asking for the value of the expression when $x = 0$, then:

$$
(0 + 2)(0 - 3) = (2)(-3) = -6
$$

Then the answer would be $-6$, which is one of the options.

Alternatively, if the expression was supposed to be linear, maybe it was meant to be:

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

But that's not the case.

Or perhaps it was meant to be a difference or simplification of something else.

But based on the current information:

> The product $(x+2)(x-3)$ equals $x^2 - x - 6$

So unless the question is asking for something else (like the constant term), none of the options are correct.

But since $-6$ is an option, and if the question was asking for the value of the expression when $x = 0$, then:

$$
(0 + 2)(0 - 3) = 2 \cdot (-3) = -6
$$

So the answer would be: $-6$

But that depends on context.

---

Final Answer (assuming the question is asking for the value at $x=0$, or possibly a typo):



If the question is asking for the constant term or the value at $x = 0$, then:

$$
\boxed{-6}
$$

Otherwise, the correct algebraic expansion is $x^2 - x - 6$, which is not among the options.

Please confirm if there was a typo or missing context. But based on the choices, the only plausible match is:

$$
\boxed{-6}
$$

(assuming evaluation at $x = 0$)
