In order to use the binomial expansion, we must have an 'x' with no coefficients - so no number before it. So we take out a factor of 2:(2(x+3))^5 We can then simplify to:32(x+3)^5 by expanding out 2^5. Now ...

Find a solution for the following simultaneous equations: 2x+y=5 and 2x-5y=2

Subtract the 2nd equation from the first: 2x--2x+y+6y=5-2 <=> 7y=3 <=> y=3/7Input the value of y into one of the equations: 2x+3/7=5 <=> 2x=(35-3)/7 <=> x=16/7
