Write 2x+3(to the power of 2)+x-4(to the power of 2). Then do the equations and you should get 4x+9+2x+16. Combine like terms and that's your answer. I know it might be weird that it's not like 72 or something, but it's math haha. Your answer should be 6x+25! Make sure you understand this before just writing all of this down. Also, don't be afraid to ask your teacher. They are there to help!
