Hello :)
Beimg a freshman and taking Spanish are independent. This is the case because you do not need to be a freshman to take Spanish.
Hope this helps and have a great day :)
You could put the ‘+6’ at the start of the equation so it would read as +6(x2+8x) and then expand the bracket as you normally would so you would get x2x6 which would get you 12x and then 6x8x which would get you 48x and then you could group both numbers together as they’re like terms and your final answer would be 60x
You have to first make like terms

**you want the denominator to be 21
