What does the term "expand" mean in mathematics?

I am NOT searching for "expanded form" or "distribute".

I think expanding means to remove the parentheses/brackets from a problem.

For example: Say we have the expression: 3 (4 + 5). I think expanding means to multiply 3, by every number in the parentheses. So that means:

(3 * 4) + (3 * 5) = 27.

Another way to think about it is to (if you're on paper) draw a line from 3, to all the numbers inside the parentheses. The line that connects from 3 to 4, is signaling for you to multiply 3 * 4 = 12. And the line from 3 to 5 = 3 * 5 = 15. And add them.

check above link.

graphically?   well, you graph them both, the solutions is where they both intersect each other, since there are two solutions, meaning they will meet twice, or namely the linear will run into the quadratic curve twice, and where they meet, those x,y coordinates are the solutions to the system.

answer: the answer is b. i think hope i got it correct
