Answers: Routine Expanding Practice #1


Expand and simplify:
1.

3 (x + 5)

= 3x + 15

2.

(x + 7)

= x 7

3.

2 (3x + 5)

= 6x + 10

4.

4 (4x 2)

= 16x + 8

5.

2 (x + 2) + 3 (x + 7)

= 2x + 4 + 3x + 21

= 5x + 25

6.

5 (2x + 3) 2 (x + 2)

= 10x + 15 2x 4

= 8x + 11

7.

2 (x + 5) 4 (x + 4)

= 2x + 10 4x 16

= 2x 6

8.

5 (x 5) 3 (x 3)

= 5x 25 3x + 9

= 2x 16

9.

2 (x + 2) 3 (x + 7)

= 2x + 4 3x 21

= x 17

10.

10 (2x 5) 2 (x 3)

= 20x 50 2x + 6

= 18x 44

11.

(x + 1)(x + 7)

= x2 + 7x + 1x + 7

= x2 + 8x + 7

12.

(x + 2)(x + 4)

= x2 + 4x + 2x + 8

= x2 + 6x + 8

13.

(x 2)(x + 3)

= x2 + 3x 2x 6

= x2 + x 6

14.

(x + 6)(x 8)

= x2 8x + 6x 48

= x2 2x 48

15.

(x 1)(x 3)

= x2 3x 1x + 3

= x2 4x + 3

= x2 3x 2x + 8

= x2 5x + 6

= x2 + 6x + 6x + 36

= x2 + 12x + 36

(as 4 2 = +8)

16.

(x 2)(x 3)

17.

(x + 6)2

18.

(x 4)(x + 3)

= x2 + 3x 4x 12

= x2 x 12

19.

(x + 5)(x + 7)

= x2 + 7x + 5x + 35

= x2 + 12x + 35

20.

(k + 6)(4 k)

= 4k k2 6k + 24

= k2 2k + 24

(x + 6)(x + 6)

Minuses can be written as plus the negative (e.g. 3x 5 = 3x + 5).
