Let's take a look at the first choice: 2(x</span>² + 6x + 9) = 3 + 18 Now, we will multiply 2 with every member of the other multiplier on the left side: 2·x² + 2·6x + 2·9 = 3 + 18 2x² + 12x + 18 = 3 + 18 <span>2x² + 12x - 3 = 18 - 18 </span><span>2x² + 12x - 3 = 0 </span> Let's take a look at the second choice: 2(x²<span> + 6x) = 3 </span><span>Now, we will multiply 2 with every member of the other multiplier on the left side: </span>2·x² + 2·6x = 3 2x² + 12x = 3 <span>2x² + 12x - 3 = 0</span>
