It is 15 because 5 times 3 is 15
Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
The horizontal distance from points (5,-18) and (8,-17) is 3 because it is 3 units from 5 to 8. The vertical distance is 1 since it is one unit from -18 to -17. Now we can use the equation
where a=3 and b=1 and c is the distance that you are looking for:

X² + 11x + 28 + x² + 13x + 40
combine like terms
x² + x² = 2x²
11x + 13x = 24x
28 + 40 = 68
2x² + 24x + 68 is your answer
if you want it simplified:
2(x² + 12x + 34)
