(w+4)(w+4) STEP 1 : multiply the first term in bracket one by all the terms in bracket two (w+4)(w+4) = (w x w)+(w x 4 ) = w2 + 4w STEP 2 : multiply the second term in bracket one by all the terms in bracket two (w+4)(w+4) = (4 x w) + ( 4 x 4) = 4w + 16 STEP 3 : now add up all your answers and simplify w2 + 4w + 4w + 16 = w2 + 8w + 16 MATH
