Question

A greenhouse that specializes in growing geraniums is divided into sections. The number of geranium pots in each section depends on the number of sprinklers in that section.

There are x(7x − 2) pots of red geraniums and (x + 3)2 pots of pink geraniums in a section with x sprinklers.

Which simplified expression represents the total number of red and pink geranium pots in a section with x sprinklers?

8x2 + 4x + 9

8x2 + 6x + 9

8x2 + 6x + 7

8x4 + 4x2 + 9

Answer 1

man they are really reaching to make a word problem out of this!
the question means ; what is
\[x(7x − 2) + (x + 3)^2 \]

Answer 2

multiply out and combine like terms
\[x(7x − 2) + (x + 3)^2=7x^2-2x+(x+3)(x+3)=7x^2-2x+x^2+6x+9\] is a start

Answer 3

ok Thanks
