Answer:

186.5 + 2x

Explanation:

First, radify 25. Luckily it's a perfect square so it will be 5.

Second, divide within the parentheses. You're expression should look like this.

(93-5+x+42/8)2

Divide 42/8. The decimal form would be 5.25, while the fraction should be 5 1/4.

Third, solve within the parentheses from left to right. Right now you're expression should look like this:

(93-5+x+5.25)2

Add all like terms

93-5+5.25=93.25

Fourth, multiply. Right now the expression should look like this:

(93.25 + x) 2

186.5 + 2x
