y=12x^2 + 96x+205

Explanation:

given y= color(blue)((2x+3)^2) + color(brown)((3x-14)^2

Expanding the brackets

In what follows I use brackets only as a means for grouping so that you can see what is hapening
y= color(blue)((2x^2 +12x+9)) + color(brown)((9x^2 +84x+ 196))

Grouping like terms:
y= (2x^2+9x^2) + (12x + 84x) +(9+196)

y=12x^2 + 96x+205
