Question

What is the solution for the following equation 2(y+3) squared

Answer 1

2y² + 12y + 18

Explanation:

2(y + 3)²

First use formula (a + b)² = a² + 2ab + b² to expand (y + 3)²:

(a + b)²

(y + 3)²

y² + 2*y*3 + 3²

y² + 6y + 9

Dont forget the 2:

2(y² + 6y + 9) <== distribute and multiply

2y² + 12y + 18

Hope this helps!
