Expanding Brackets

Expanding Brackets

Expanding Brackets requires the problem solver to expand what is in the brackets and turn it into a expression. Having brackets is a way to keep everything together, but we need to skimpily the brackets to an expression.
Steps:

1. 6(3x + 8)

2.

	3x	8
6	18x	48

We need to times 6 by 3x which = 18x

We also need to times 6 by 8 which = 48

3.

18x + 48

This is as far as the question can be simplified, it is now a expression. An expression doesn't have a equal sign so it is not a equation.
