my “aha” moment this week is when we learned about a quick and easy way to expand and simplify these binomials! *I’ll be doing the first question* The first step you must do is take the two x’s and multiply them together making it x^2. Then you take the 2 and the 4 and add them together to make 6, which would then give you 6x because (2x+4x=6x). Then you finally take 2 x 4, which gives you 8. Then finally your final answer will be, x^2+6x+8 !
