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

I believe it is the first one.

Answer 4

it is (x+3)^2 or 2*(x+3)??????? :)

Answer 5

(x+3)^2

Answer 6

ok, than simply add both of the equation which will be,

x(7x-2)+(x+3)^2
=> 7x^2-2x+x^2+6x+9
=>8x^2+4x+9

So, option A. is correct...... :)
