Question

Expand.
a)3(x - 2)
b)2(y + 4)
c)8(3 + x)

​

Answer 1

`a \: 3x - 6 \\ b \: 2y + 8 \\ c \: 8x + 24`

Explanation:

All we have to do is multiply accordingly. I'll use a for an example.

So for the value before the perentheses we multiply that by all of the values in the perentheses.

`3x \: and \: - 6`

So the correct answer would be

`3x - 6`

You can use the same strategy for all the questions, but I'll just answer those straight away.

Also you may notice I put the variable before the constant in question c because the variable should always go before the constant in expressions and equations.

Answer 2

The answer is 3x-6 i really hope this helped :)
