im not sure

Answer 7

Good!

remember we have to do the whole square thing

\(( \color{red}{a} + \color{orange}{b})^2 = \color{red}{a^2} + 2\color{red}{a}\color{orange}{b} +\color{orange}{b^2}\)

Answer 8

x^2 + 4x + 4

Answer 9

Good!

Answer 10

Now remember we had

(x+2)^2 + 2 - 3x

now we have

x^2 + 4x + 4 + 2 - 3x

can you add the apples and oranges and numbers? :b

Answer 11

which is apples and which is orange

Answer 12

you can make anything but you have to keep it the same

x^2 is your apple

x is your orange

x^2 is not the same thing as x
you can't add them just like you can't add apples and oranges

if you had 1 apple and 1 orange, can you say that you have 2 apples or 2 oranges?

absolutely not!

so just like that, you can only the things that have x^2 together or if they both have x

Answer 13

x^2 + 4x + 4 + 2 - 3x

Answer 14

4x-3x?

Answer 15

yes, you can subtract those two since they both have an x

and what about 4 + 2?

Answer 16

x^2+6-1x?

Answer 17

okay almost

but we said

4x - 3x

think of the x as an orange

so 4 oranges minus 3 oranges

if you have 4 oranges and you give me 3, how many oranges are you left with?

Answer 18

1x?

Answer 19

Exactly!!

You wrote down -1x

it should +1x

Answer 20

x^2+6+1x?

Answer 21

You got it!
