Expand if necessary, combine like terms (x+2) (x+2)

x^2 + 4x + 4

Step-by-step explanation:

x^2 + 4x + 4

Step-by-step explanation:

We can do this first

(x + 2)^2

Then we can use our knowledge and do

x^2 +4.

We have to multiple the two by two and then x because that is a rule in

(a + b) ^2

=

a^2 + b^2 + 2ba

So we end up with x^2 + 4x +4

37/3

step-by-step explanation:

step 1: simplify both sides of the equation.

7x+8(x+

)=3(6x−9)−8

7x+(8)(x)+(8)(

4

)=(3)(6x)+(3)(−9)+−8(distribute)

7x+8x+2=18x+−27+−8

(7x+8x)+(2)=(18x)+(−27+−8)(combine like terms)

15x+2=18x+−35

15x+2=18x−35

tep 2: subtract 18x from both sides.

15x+2−18x=18x−35−18x

−3x+2=−35

step 3: subtract 2 from both sides.

−3x+2−2=−35−2

−3x=−37

step 4: divide both sides by -3.
