📚 Part 1: Basic Expansion

Remember: To expand a(b + c), multiply the term outside the bracket by each term inside the bracket.

a) 3(x + 4) = _______________

b) 5(y - 2) = _______________

c) 2(3x + 7) = _______________

d) 4(2y - 5) = _______________

⚠️ Part 2: Working with Negative Signs

Careful: When the coefficient is negative, remember to multiply it by each term inside the bracket.

a) -3(x + 5) = _______________

b) -2(4y - 3) = _______________

c) -6(2x + 1) = _______________

d) -4(3y - 7) = _______________

🔢 Part 3: Multiple Terms in Brackets

Challenge: Expand expressions with three or more terms inside the brackets.

a) 3(x + 2y - 4) = _______________

b) 5(2x - y + 3) = _______________

c) -2(3x + 4y - 6) = _______________

d) 4(x - 2y + 5z) = _______________
