6 minivans are needed to take (i think I'm real bad at math)
• 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:
See below.
Step-by-step explanation:
The question tells us that 2.54 cm is equivalent to 1 inch. The next part wants to know what 5.08 cm is in inches. We can just divide 5.08 by 2.54 to figure that out.
5.08/2.54 = 2
This means that 5.08 cm is 2 inches.
The next one wants to know how many centimeters 10 inches is. We can 2.54 and multiply it by 10.
2.54 · 10 = 25.4
This means that 25.4 cm is 10 inches.
X=number total of student at the school.
70% of x=161
can suggest this equation:
(70/100)x=161
0.7x=161
x=161/0.7=230
Answer: the school has 230 students
