Step-by-Step Solution

To solve this problem, we'll follow these steps:

  • Step 1: Assume the missing values in the expression are bb and 2x2x.

  • Step 2: Expand the binomial expression (76+2a)(b+2x)(76+2a)(b+2x) using the distributive property.

  • Step 3: Match the expanded result with the right-hand expression 152x+76b+4ax+2ab152x+76b+4ax+2ab.

Now, let's work through each step:

Step 1: The binomial expression is (76+2a)(b+2x)(76 + 2a)(b + 2x).

Step 2: Expanding this expression using the distributive property, we have:

(76+2a)(b+2x)amp;=76b+76(2x)+2a(b)+2a(2x)amp;=76b+152x+2ab+4ax. \begin{aligned} (76 + 2a)(b + 2x) &= 76b + 76(2x) + 2a(b) + 2a(2x) \\ &= 76b + 152x + 2ab + 4ax. \end{aligned}

Step 3: Comparing this with the expression on the right side, 152x+76b+4ax+2ab152x+76b+4ax+2ab, we find they match perfectly.

Therefore, the missing values are b b and 2x 2x , which corresponds to choice 22.

Answer

b,2x b,2x
