Question

The product of x and the sum of 6 and 8 times the square of x

Answer 1

Let's separate this problem into several parts:

1. The product of x

AND

2. The sum of 6 and 8

TIMES

3. The square of x

So translating this word problem into numbers, we have:

x TIMES (6+8) TIMES x²

so that is:

x * 14 * x²

which is:

14x^(2+1) = 14x³

Answer 2

x(6 + 8x)

Explanation:

Symbolically, that would be x(6 + 8x). You could expand this to 6x + 8x^2.
