Currently, the area of Oak Park is represented by (9x2 + 6x + 9). The city will be expanding the park this summer. The area of the expansion is represented by 8x −7. Which polynomial expression represents the total area of Oak Park after the expansion?
Since there is an area expansion. all you have to do is add the original area and the expanded area. Thus,
9x2 + 6x + 9 + 8x -7
Combine like terms
9x2 + 14x + 2 <-- ANSWER
