Answer: g^2+2g+1
Step-by-step explanation: Since she wants each side to be 1 inch larger, each side has a length of g+1. You need to find the area by squaring (g+1).
Write this as (g+1)(g+1). Use the FOIL method to get g^2+g+g+1. Simplify this to g^2+2g+1.
Answer: 9x-3x and 5x+x
Step-by-step explanation:
1. Brianna's thinking is incorrect because of course, when x is 0, the expression will equal whatever value isn't an x term. To find equivalent expression, you actually need to find which expressions have the same amount of x terms and the same value.
2. Expressions A and C are equivalent.
3. Expression A can be simplified, as you can do 9x - 3x = 6x, so your final expression would be 6x - 4. Expression C can also be simplified with 5x + x = 6x, which can then also be written as 6x - 4. This means both expressions have the same amount of x terms, and the same value, so they are equivalent.
