Two sentences joined with a coordinating conjunction and a comma form a compound sentence. If it were a complex, it would have a dash. If it were a comma splice, it would have a dash and a dash. If it were a run-on, it wouldn't have either, just a lot of and in it.

Hope this helps. :D

Select the correct answer.<br>Simplify the following expression.<br>(4x + 7)^2

choli [55]

The simplified expression is $(4x+7)^2=16x^2+56x+49$

Explanation:

The expression that we have in this problem is

$(4x+7)^2$

We want to simplify this expression: in order to do so, we apply the rule to solve the square of a binomial:

$(a+b)^2=a^2+2ab+b^2$

Where in our expression, we have:

$a=4x\\b=7$

So, the various terms are:

$a^2=(4x)^2=16x^2\\2ab=2(4x)(7)=56x\\b^2=7^2=49$

Therefore, the final expression becomes

$(4x+7)^2=16x^2+56x+49$

ELEN [110]

These two lines reflect the theme that men must never go against fate:

1. "I don't know what the first two was, but the third was for death. that's how i got the paw"

2. He wanted to show that fate ruled people's lives, and that those who interfered with it did so to their sorrow. He put a spell on it so that three separate men could each have three wishes from it."

Explanation: The actual lesson that Fakir wanted to teach is that fate ruled people's lives.
