The answer is 5. 17=(2x+2)+x X is the length of the shorter piece and 2x+2 is two plus double the length of the shorter piece or X X=5

Answer:

x⁵+ 45x⁴+ 810x³+ 7290x²+ 32805x +59049

Step-by-step explanation:

Greetings !

Given expression

$(x + 9) {}^{5}$

write 5 as a sum

$(x + 9) {}^{3 + 2}$

$use \: a {}^{m + n} = a {}^{m} \times a {}^{n} to \: expand \: the \: expression.$

$(x + 9) {}^{3} \times (x + 9) {}^{2}$

Use (a+b)³=a³+3a²b+b³ to expand the expression

$(x {}^{3} + 27x {}^{2} + 243x + 729) \times (x + 9) {}^{2}$

Use (a+b)²=a²+2ab+b² to the second expression to expand it

$(x {}^{3} + 27x {}^{2} + 243x + 729) \times(x {}^{2} + 18x + 81)$

Finally, simplify the expression gives

$x {}^{5} + 45x {}^{4} + 810x {}^{3} + 7290x {}^{2} + 32805x + 59049$

Hope it helps!
