Find the Product (2x+5)(2x+5)

$(2 x + 5) (2 x + 5)$

Step 1

Expand $(2 x + 5) (2 x + 5)$ using the FOIL Method.

Apply the distributive property.

$2 x (2 x + 5) + 5 (2 x + 5)$

Apply the distributive property.

$2 x (2 x) + 2 x \cdot 5 + 5 (2 x + 5)$

Apply the distributive property.

$2 x (2 x) + 2 x \cdot 5 + 5 (2 x) + 5 \cdot 5$

Step 2

Simplify and combine like terms.

Simplify each term.

Rewrite using the commutative property of multiplication.

$2 \cdot 2 x \cdot x + 2 x \cdot 5 + 5 (2 x) + 5 \cdot 5$

Multiply $x$ by $x$ by adding the exponents.

Move $x$ .

$2 \cdot 2 (x \cdot x) + 2 x \cdot 5 + 5 (2 x) + 5 \cdot 5$

Multiply $x$ by $x$ .

$2 \cdot 2 x^{2} + 2 x \cdot 5 + 5 (2 x) + 5 \cdot 5$

Multiply $2$ by $2$ .

$4 x^{2} + 2 x \cdot 5 + 5 (2 x) + 5 \cdot 5$

Multiply $5$ by $2$ .

$4 x^{2} + 10 x + 5 (2 x) + 5 \cdot 5$

Multiply $2$ by $5$ .

$4 x^{2} + 10 x + 10 x + 5 \cdot 5$

Multiply $5$ by $5$ .

$4 x^{2} + 10 x + 10 x + 25$

Add $10 x$ and $10 x$ .

$4 x^{2} + 20 x + 25$
