Let's multiply out the equation 6x+2 times 6x+2 using the square. Draw a 2 by 2 bow and put the equation across the bottom and verically. Multiply across to get this. 6x times 6x =36x^2 6x times two =12x do it again and get 12x. 2*2=4. That means x would equal 24.
The answer would be that Brook measured the distance between L and M
They are both equal. 96/12=8
And 8x12=96.
Hope that helped!
