HELP PLEASE A MEDAL WILL BE RECEIVED AND IF GREAT YOU WILL BE A FAN!
A greenhouse that specializes in growing bell peppers is divided into sections. The number of plants in each section depends on the number of sprinklers in that section.

In a section with x sprinklers, there are 3x(x + 3) red bell pepper plants and (x + 4)^2 yellow bell pepper plants.

Which simplified expression represents the total number of red and yellow bell pepper plants in a section with x sprinklers?

Answer 1

The total number of red and yellow bell peppers in a given section is equal to the sum of the expression for red peppers and the expression for yellow peppers:

3x(x+3)+(x+4)^2=(3x^2+9x)+(x^2+8x+16)=
4x^2+17x+16
