Solve the following problem:
Solve the following problem:
Solve the equation by simplifying the expression on the left side in two stages. First, we'll multiply the expressions within the two leftmost pairs of parentheses:
Apply the shortened multiplication formula for squaring a binomial:
Given that these two pairs of parentheses are being multiplied by another expression (which is also in parentheses), we'll place the result inside of parentheses (marked with an underline):
Continue to simplify the expression on the left side by using the expanded distribution law:
Additionally, we'll apply the law of exponents for multiplying terms with equal bases:
Apply these laws in order to expand the parentheses in the expression in the equation:
Continue to combine like terms, while moving terms between sides. Later - we observe that the terms with squared and cubed powers cancel out, therefore it's a first-degree equation, which we'll solve by isolating the variable term and dividing both sides of the equation by its coefficient:
Therefore, the correct answer is answer A.
