• Expand (2a + b)²:
(2a + b)²
= (2a + b) · (2a + b)
Multiply out the brackets by applying the distributive property of multiplication:
= (2a + b) · 2a + (2a + b) · b
= 2a · 2a + b · 2a + 2a · b + b · b
= 2²a² + 2ab + 2ab + b²
Now, group like terms together, and you get
= 2²a² + 4ab + b²
= 4a² + 4ab + b² <——— expanded form (this is the answer).
I hope this helps. =)

Answer:
X = 9, -1
Step-by-step explanation:
1, Factor it
(x-9) (x+1) = 0
2. Both of a factor will = 0
x-9 = 0
x+1=0
3. Solve
x=9
x=1
This is a question that needs a bit of common sense to get to the actual answer that is desired. Firstly there is one information given .The other information has to be found from common sense. ! single handshake requires 2 people. Now we can easily determine the number of people doing 66 handshakes.
Then
The number of people required for 1 hand shake = 2
Then
The number of people required to do 66 handshakes = ( 2 * 66) people
= 132 people
Then it can be said that there were 132 people in the party. I hope the process of doing this problem is clear to you.
