54. k^2 + 7k + 7k+49
=(k+7)(k+7)
55. r^2 + 3r + 3r + 9
= (r+3)(r+3)
56. y^2 - 8y -8y +64
= (y-8)(y-8)

57. 2t^2 + 6t + 6t + 18
= (2t +6) ( t + 3)

58. (m -8)(m -8)

59. 4g^2 + 20g + 20g + 100
= (4g + 20 )(g + 5)

Factor each expression:
54. k2 + 14k + 49 = (k+7)^2
-----------------------
55. r2 + 6r + 9 = (r+3)^2
-----------------------------
56. y2 - 16y + 64 = (y-8)^2
-----------------------------
57. 2t2 + 12t + 18
= 2(t^2+6t+9)
= 2(t+3)^2
------------------------
58. m2 - 64 = (m-8)(m+8)
---------------------------
59. 4g2 + 40g + 100
= 4(g^2+10g+25)
= 4(g+5)^2
