  Left of the equal sign is the second degree term of a perfect square, namely.

  $latex (x^2+2x)^2 +y(x^2+2x)+frac{y^2}{4}. $

  Hi there!

  I just pasted that LaTeX code into my test site and I did not get a parsing error. I also don’t see an equals sign in your code. Can you make sure you gave me the right segment of your equation?

  I have solved the problem. Thank you.
  Now, you refer to an equal sign.
  There should not be an equal sign. The statement I am making refers to the left side of the equal sign on a previous line. I am saying it is the latex expression.
