Answer:

  6x

Step-by-step explanation:

The rule of exponents that applies is ...

  (a^b)(a^c) = a^(b+c)

__

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

_____

It can be confusing when you use x both for a variable and a math operator. There are other ways to indicate multiplication, and there are other letters you can use for a variable.

If your middle x is actually intended to be a variable, then the result is 6x².
