(5+a)² + 2(3a-1)
Expanding the square of (5+a):
(5+a)² = (5+a)(5+a) = 25 + 5a + 5a + a² = 25 + 10a + a²
Now substitute this back into the original expression:
(25 + 10a + a²) + 2(3a-1)
Expanding the second term:
2(3a-1) = 23a - 21 = 6a - 2
Now put it all together:
(25 + 10a + a²) + (6a - 2) = 25 + 10a + a² + 6a - 2
Combining like terms:
25 + 16a + a²
Therefore, the expression simplifies to:
a² + 16a + 25
