Question

Solve 15x squared + 40x

Answer 1

see below

Explanation:

15x^2 + 40x

These are not like terms so they cannot be combined.

If you mean

(15x) ^2 + 40x

(15x * 15x) + 40x

225x^2 + 40x

They are still not like terms so they cannot be combined.

Answer 2

265x{2} + 40x

Explanation:

Squared mean to multiply the number times itself. So 15x times 15x.

`15x^(2) = 225x`{2}

Then the problem says to add, but because one is squared and th other is not, they cannot be combined. So the answer is:

[tex]225x{2} + 40x
