Question

(x+2)(x+1) expand and simplify

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation: First we will expand so

x times x = x^2

x times 1 = x ( don’t need to put 1 in front)

2 times x is = 2x

2 times 1 = 2

Now we line them all up and look out if there are any like terms.

x^2 + x + 2x + 2 = x^2 +3x + 2

Answer 2

Hello!

To expand:

==> we must multiply each variable with each other

`(x+2)(x+1)=x*x+x*1+2*x+2*1=x^2+x+2x+2=x^2+3x+2`

Thus: when (x+2)(x+1) is expanded and simplified

==>
`x^2+3x+2`
