Expanding a single bracket

Multiply each term inside the bracket by the term outside the bracket.

2

Expand 3(x + 4)

3x + 12

3

Expand 5(2x - 7)

10x - 35

4

Expand -2(x + 6)

-2x - 12

5

Expand -4(3x - 5)

-12x + 20

6

Expand and simplify 2(x + 3) + 4(x - 1)

2x + 6 + 4x - 4 = 6x + 2

7

Expand and simplify 3(2x - 1) - 5(x + 4)

6x - 3 - 5x - 20 = x - 23

8

Expand 7(2x + 3y)

14x + 21y

9

Expand -3(4x - 2y)

-12x + 6y

10
