Answer:

2x + 5

Explanation:

Make sure you remember the area of a square with side which is
s^(2). Once you figure that out, you need to find the length of a​ side, make sure you factor the expression of the area as a​ perfect-square trinomial.

An example of that is...


a^(2) +2ab+b^(2)
= (a +b)^(2)

^^key point^^

Break it down and take the length out of the Square of Sum and you should get your answer.

Example: Use Square of Sum and get
(2x+5)^(2) then, get rid of parentheses >> 2x + 5 and you should get your answer :)
