Solution

The image you provided contains a mathematical expression that I can help simplify and solve. Here's what I can see clearly:

The problem is: 3(2x+3)2(x5)(3x4)(x5)3(2x + 3)^2 - (x - 5) - (3x - 4)(x - 5)

Step-by-step solution:

  1. Expand the squared term (2x+3)2(2x + 3)^2: (2x+3)2=(2x+3)(2x+3)=4x2+6x+6x+9=4x2+12x+9(2x + 3)^2 = (2x + 3)(2x + 3) = 4x^2 + 6x + 6x + 9 = 4x^2 + 12x + 9 So: 3(2x+3)2=3(4x2+12x+9)=12x2+36x+273(2x + 3)^2 = 3(4x^2 + 12x + 9) = 12x^2 + 36x + 27

  2. Expand the product (3x4)(x5)(3x - 4)(x - 5) using the distributive property: (3x4)(x5)=3x(x5)4(x5)=3x215x4x+20=3x219x+20(3x - 4)(x - 5) = 3x(x - 5) - 4(x - 5) = 3x^2 - 15x - 4x + 20 = 3x^2 - 19x + 20

  3. Now we substitute these expansions into the original expression: 12x2+36x+27(x5)(3x219x+20)12x^2 + 36x + 27 - (x - 5) - (3x^2 - 19x + 20)

  4. Distribute the negative signs: 12x2+36x+27x+53x2+19x2012x^2 + 36x + 27 - x + 5 - 3x^2 + 19x - 20

  5. Combine like terms: (12x23x2)+(36x+19xx)+(27+520)(12x^2 - 3x^2) + (36x + 19x - x) + (27 + 5 - 20) Simplifying each group: 9x2+54x+129x^2 + 54x + 12

Final answer:

The simplified expression is: 9x2+54x+129x^2 + 54x + 12
