This guide focuses on the method of expanding brackets in algebraic expressions. It details the process of removing brackets using multiplication, illustrated with examples such as 3(x + 2) and (x + 3)(x - 2). Through these examples, we explore how to distribute the terms and simplify expressions step by step, ultimately leading to forms that reveal underlying patterns, like x² and 2x. This technique is essential for tackling more complex algebra problems and aids in foundational understanding.

8 November, 2014 Expand Brackets This means ‘get rid’ of the brackets in cases like: 3(x + 2) 4(2x + 3) x(x + 3) (x + 3)(x – 2) 3(x – 2) + 2(x – 3) Low C C B
This means x times (x + 2) x(x + 2)
This means 3 times (x + 2) x(x + 2) xX (x + 2) To remove the brackets, you times the x and 2 by x.
This means 3 times (x + 2) x(x + 2) xX (x + 2) xX x + xX 2 To remove the brackets, you times the x and 2 by x. Like this
This means 3 times (x + 2) x(x + 2) xX (x + 2) xX x + xX 2 x2 + 2x To remove the brackets, you times the x and 2 by x. Like this xX 2 can be written as 2x x x x is x squared
