Answer 1

Answer:A

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

Answer:

The answer to your question is:       (2a + 2b)²

Step-by-step explanation:

a² + b² = z

ab = y

Which is equivalent to 4z + 8y ?

Substitution

                                     4(a² + b²) + 8(ab)

Simplify                        4a² + 4b² + 8ab

Order                            4a² + 8ab + 4b²       It's a perfect square trynomial

Factorize                     (2a + 2b)²
