In summary, the conversation discusses questions on how to expand and simplify equations. The first question involves solving (2^2+3), which results in the answer 7. The second question involves (8^2*7x)-2(3+4x), and after simplifying, the answer is 440x-6. The conversation also clarifies a potential error in the equation (8sq*7x) and provides the correct solution (64+7x).

I was wondering if i had a question like (2squared+3) would i go 2*2+3= 7

If i had (8sq*7x)-2(3+4x)

how do i expand and simply also work out i don't understand how to work this out and what i need to do fisrt ?

would i go 8*8 = 64 +7 = 71 -2 =69 +3+4 =75sq x ? or is this wrong

Is it 2^2+3? If so, the answer is indeed 7.

If i had (8sq*7x)-2(3+4x)

I don't understand. What are you trying to work out? If you want to simplify, it's:

8^2*7x - 2(3+4x)
=448x-6-8x
=440x-6

8^2*7x - 2(3+4x)
=448x-6-8x
=440x-6

So that is how i simplify

how did you get 6-8 from the eqaution ?

What you wrote was 8sq 7 x which appears to mean 8^2 times 7. Did you mean to write 8^2+7x? If so then it is 64+ 7x not (8^2+ 7)x which would be 81x.
 

FAQ: Solve Math Problem: (8sq*7x)-2(3+4x)

What is the first step in solving this math problem?

The first step is to distribute the 8sq and the -2 to the terms inside the parentheses, using the distributive property.

How do you simplify the expression after distributing?

After distributing, you can combine like terms by adding or subtracting coefficients of the same variable. In this case, the terms 7x and 4x can be combined to get 11x.

What is the final solution to this math problem?

The final solution is 8sq*7x-2(3+4x) = 56x^2 - 6 - 8x.

Can this expression be simplified further?

No, this expression cannot be simplified further as all like terms have been combined and the coefficients are in their simplest form.

How can I check if my solution is correct?

You can check your solution by plugging in a value for x and evaluating both the original expression and your simplified solution. If they give the same result, then your solution is correct. You can also use a calculator to verify the answer.
