1. The problem is to continue from the previous context, but since no specific math problem was provided, I will explain how to proceed with solving algebraic problems step-by-step. 2. Generally, when continuing a math problem, first identify the type of problem (e.g., solving equations, simplifying expressions, factoring). 3. Use the appropriate formulas or rules. For example, for quadratic equations, use the quadratic formula $$x=\frac{-b\pm\sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}$$. 4. Show all intermediate steps clearly, such as expanding, factoring, or simplifying expressions. 5. Always check your solution by substituting back into the original equation if possible. Since no specific problem was given, please provide the problem statement to continue with detailed steps.
