Question

Which expression is the simplest form of 3(2x + y) + 4(x - 4y) + x2?

Answer 1

Answer:

x^2 +  10x - 13y.

Step-by-step explanation:

3(2x + y) + 4(x - 4y) + x^2   First apply the Distributive law to the parentheses:

= 6x + 3y + 4x - 16y + x^2  Now add like terms:

= 10x - 13y + x^2.

Answer 2

Which expression is the simplest form of 3(2x+y)+4(x-4y)+$x^{2}$?

Answer:

$x^{2}$-13y+10x

Step-by-step explanation:

3(2x+y)+4(x-4y)+$x^{2}$

6x+3y+4x-16y+$x^{2}$

$x^{2}$-13y+10x
