(6x+3)^2 + (6x+4)^2 = (8x+3)^2?
can someone explain in steps how to do this problem?
I cant understand it -_- please help me
i think there’s supposed to be 2 answers to this
the ^2 means the 2 is an exponent

(36x²+36x+9)+(36x²+48x+16)=(64x²+48x+9)
because there is a 48x and a 9 on both sides, they cancel out:
(36x²+36x)+(36x²+16)=(64x²)
then you add and subtract like terms so that everything is on one side:
8x²+36x+16=0
then you factor out a four from each:
4(2x²+9x+4)=0
then you factor what is in the ()
1.36x^2+9+36x+36x^2+16+48x=64x^2+9+48x
2.36x^2+36x+36x^2+48x-64x^2-48x=-9-16+9
3.36x^2+36x+36x^2+48x-64x^2-48x=-16
4.8x^2+36x+16=0
5.Discriminant=36^2-4*8*16 Solve this, then step 6.
6.x1,x2(the 2 sollutions)=-36+-sqrt of Discriminant
