Answer:
See below, please
Step-by-step explanation:
Left side
[tex] {(2x + 1)}^{2} - {(x + 1)}^{2} [/tex]
[tex] = (4 {x}^{2} + 4x + 1) - ( {x}^{2} + 2x + 1)[/tex]
[tex] = (4 {x}^{2} - {x}^{2} ) + (4x - 2x) + (1 -1 )[/tex]
[tex] = 3 {x}^{2} + 2x[/tex]
Right side
[tex]3 \times {(x + 1)}^{2} - 1[/tex]
[tex] = 3 \times ( {x}^{2} + 2x + 1) - 1[/tex]
[tex] = 3 {x}^{2} + 6x + 3 - 1[/tex]
[tex] = 3 {x}^{2} + 6x + 2[/tex]
After compared with both sides, we can make a conclusion that
This equation isn't an identity.
