Simplify (3n - 2m)^2 = Can someone break this down for me? I don't understand why I'm having issues with this.

9n² - 12mn + 4m²

Step-by-step explanation:

(a+b)² = a² + 2ab + b²

(3n - 2m )² = (3n-2m)(3n-2m) = 3n*3n + 3n*-2m -2m*3n - 2m*-2m

= 9n² - 6nm -6mn + 4m²

= 9n² - 12mn + 4n²

Once you simplify the given expression, your answer will be 9n² - 12mn + 4m

Step-by-step explanation:

In this problem, we are given an expression.

(3n - 2m)²

when an expression or equation is raised to the power of 2, then you are going to multiply the base term by itself. For example, if you have 2² or 16², then would you do 2 × 2 and 16 × 16 in order to solve the expressions. We will do the same for this expression.

(3n - 2m)² = (3n - 2m) × (3n - 2m)

We will use the foil method to solve this expression

(3n - 2m)(3n - 2m)

9n² - 6mn - 6mn + 4m

Combine like terms together.

9n² - 12mn + 4m

So, the simplified form of the expression is 9n² - 12mn + 4m

hey there!

if she's saving for six months, let's divide the total number we need for the trip by six, dividing it into the amount that needs to be saved for each month.

500 ÷ 6 =

she needs to save at least this amount each month, so we should use this symbol: ≥

let x be the amount she saves each month.

your final answer is x ≥

hope this !
