Answer:
7 + 4
Step-by-step explanation:
note that 
× = a
Given
(2 + )² = (2 + )(2 + )
Each term in the second factor is multiplied by each term in the first factor, that is
2(2 + ) + (2 + ) ← distribute both parenthesis
= 4 + 2 + 2 + 3 ← collect like terms
= 7 + 4
Take the first bracket and it's multiplication, 3(2a+5)
You expand my multiplying everything inside the bracket by the number outside.
3*2a = 6a
3*5 = 15
Then multiply out the second bracket, 5(a-2)
5*a = 5a
5*-2 = -10
So now you have 6a + 15 + 5a - 10
Simplify it by collecting like terms, and you have:
11a + 5
And that's the answer, hope I helped!
I'm pretty sure that your answer is the Distributive Property, if I were you, I'd check your notes if you have notes or anything, and THEN, search it up. Just to make sure. I'm not always a hundred percent sure of my answer, but, I *THINK* it's the distributive property.
