@dude

iosangel:

Isn't that distributing?

dude:

Yes, iosangel it is distributing

dude:

Just try to do normal distribution Pixel

Pixel:

with what?

Pixel:

the image you posted?

dude:

Yes

Pixel:

16a+20a

dude:

How did you get that?

Pixel:

"distribution"

Pixel:

4a x 4a = 16a

Pixel:

4a x 5 = 20a

dude:

You forgot to distribute the 5 too

dude:

4a times 4a is not `16a`

Pixel:

4x4=16

dude:

Yes, and what is a x a?

Pixel:

a^2?

dude:

Yep so \(16a^2\)

Pixel:

ohhh

Pixel:

16a^2+20a?

dude:

You have to distribute the 5 too

Pixel:

how?

dude:

\((\color{red}{4a+}5)(4a+5)\) You already distributed the 4a so now just do the five like if you were doing \(5(4a+5)\)

Pixel:

20a+25

dude:

Yep so you have \(16a^2+20a+20a+25\) Combine like terms

Pixel:

16a^2+40a+25

dude:

Yep and your B term has an `a` That should give you a hint to what it is

Pixel:

so the answer is B=16a^2+40a+25?

dude:

No, look at the question and compare it to what you just got, what is missing?

Pixel:

Deh B term?

dude:

\(16a^2+Ba+25\) to \(16a^2+40a+25\)

dude:

Yes

Pixel:

B=40?

Pixel:

@dude

dude:

Right

Pixel:

oh noes my test was like pewpew and kicked me out ;-;

dude:
