Evaluate (a + b)^2 for a = 2 and b = 3.

(a + b)^2

You are given that a = 2 and b = 3, so plug in 2 for a and 3 for b in the expression.

Now your expression should look like this:

(2 + 3)^2

Solve within the parentheses first.

(5)^2

Square 5.

(5)^2 = 25

Your answer to this problem is 25.

x = 23.78

step-by-step explanation:

let y equal to

the total fare and x is the mile of taxi ride. so the equation is

y = 0.55x + 1.75

since susie has

$10 to spend for a taxi cab, so he can have

10 = 0.55x +

1.75

x = 15 miles of

taxi ride

so the system of

inequality is

10 < 0.55x +

1.75

x > 2
