Expanding Brackets

This is a simple , Really Simple Lesson

Let me Give you some examples you will need to learn how to expand brackets :

2(X+5) do You know how to work that out ? Go ahead, Try and work it out and write your answer.

So to expand, You have to Multiply X with 2 Which answers to 2x.
And then you just Multiply 2 by 5 Which is 10

So 2(x+5) = 2x+10


Now , If you didnt understand that , please post about what you dont understand.

Example #2 :

(x+3) (x+2)

Now , if you are in the middle set , i think Mr. Khorum ( Not sure with the spelling of his name) has showed you the Smiley Face way to expand those. if your not in the middle set , let me show you.

(X+3) (X+2) First X x X Which is X Squared.
then 3 x 2 = 6

So now we have X squared +6

Then you go for 3 x X = 3x
and X x 2= 2x

So its X squared + 6 + 5x

BUT Always Remember to do it This way ( X sqaured , Number of X's Then number. )

So = X squared + 5x + 6

The Smiley Face Way will be added as an attachment in the near future.
