Which of the interpretations for the given expression is correct (x+4)² – 3

The difference of the square of x + 4 and 3

Step-by-step explanation:

Option (2) and (3) can be eliminated because the question involves finding a difference.

Here, is one term and is considered to be another term. And we are finding the difference between them. So, it would be wrong to say difference of difference of the square of and because it would mean which is completely different here.

So, option (4) is correct.

step-by-step explanation:

always plug in x. in this case, x equals 4.

i'm going to first solve 4(2+3x)

1) 4(2+3(4)) use pemdas to solve.

i'm going to multiply whats in the parenthesis first, so 3 times 4=12.

2)4 (2+12) i'm then going to multiply 4 by both numbers in the parenthesis (because multiplying comes before adding)

4 times 2= 8.   4 times 12= 48

4) (8+48)= 56 (answer)

i'm then going to solve 8+12x and plug in 4 for x.

1) 8 +12(4)

multiplying comes before adding, so i'm gonna multiply 12 and 4.

12 times 4= 48.

2) 8+48=56

both equal the same!

tube or goog would be a great resource to with that question
