"The square of x" can be represented by x² and 8 times that would be 8 * x² or 8x². The sum of 6 and 8x² can be represented by 6 + x² and the product of x and 6 + x² can be represented by x * (6 + 8x²) or x(6 + 8x²) which simplifies to 6x + 8x³.
Here's a way this can help! If the graph it by two then any odd number will by by the middle, start by the origin and you'll be able to see it clearly.
