Expanding Single Brackets

Mathematics · Algebra · procedural

Expand (multiply out) a single term over a bracket using the distributive property, e.g., 3(2x + 5) = 6x + 15; expand expressions involving negative multipliers

What mastery looks like

  • Multiply a single positive term over a bracket to expand the expression
  • Multiply a negative term over a bracket, correctly handling signs
  • Combine expanding brackets with collecting like terms to simplify fully

Check your understanding

Can Expanding Single Brackets expand a bracket like 3(2x + 5) by multiplying everything inside, to get 6x + 15?
