simplified version of (3x-5)^2

I consider this to be as simplified as it gets.

If you expand it, it becomes less "simplified"

sorry meant expand

To find a simplified version of (3x-5)^2, you need to expand the expression using the concept of the binomial square.

Here's how you can do it step by step:

Step 1: Square the first term.
(3x)^2 = 9x^2.

Step 2: Multiply the first term by twice the product of the two terms, which is -5.
2 * (3x) * (-5) = -30x.

Step 3: Square the second term.
(-5)^2 = 25.

Putting it all together, the expanded form of (3x-5)^2 is:
(3x-5)^2 = 9x^2 - 30x + 25.

So, the simplified version of (3x-5)^2 is 9x^2 - 30x + 25.
