Step 2.1

Apply the distributive property.

$x (x + h) + h (x + h)$

Step 2.2

Apply the distributive property.

$x \cdot x + x h + h (x + h)$

Step 2.3

Apply the distributive property.

$x \cdot x + x h + h x + h \cdot h$

$x \cdot x + x h + h x + h \cdot h$

Step 3.1.1

Multiply $x$ by $x$ .

$x^{2} + x h + h x + h \cdot h$

Step 3.1.2

Multiply $h$ by $h$ .

$x^{2} + x h + h x + h^{2}$

$x^{2} + x h + h x + h^{2}$

Step 3.2

Step 3.2.1

Reorder $x$ and $h$ .

$x^{2} + h x + h x + h^{2}$

Step 3.2.2

Add $h x$ and $h x$ .

$x^{2} + 2 h x + h^{2}$

$x^{2} + 2 h x + h^{2}$

$x^{2} + 2 h x + h^{2}$

Step 4

Move $x^{2}$ .

$2 h x + h^{2} + x^{2}$

Step 5

Reorder $2 h x$ and $h^{2}$ .

$h^{2} + 2 h x + x^{2}$
