The document provides examples and practice problems for solving equations with brackets using the balancing method in three sections: 1) Expanding bracket expressions. 2) Expanding brackets and then solving equations by balancing both sides of the equation. 3) Expanding brackets and simplifying the expressions by removing the smallest number of letters first before balancing the equation.

Objective: To solve equations with brackets using the balancing method

Example: 3(2x 3) Example: x( x + 2)


= 6x - 9 = x2 + 2x

SECTION A - Expand the following:


(a) 2(x 3) (b) 3(x + 5) (c) 2(2x 1)
(d) 3(2y + 1) (e) 5(2y 4) (f) 4(2 3y)
(g) x(x + 4) (h) x(x 3) (i) y(2y + 5)
(j) a(3a 2) (k) 2b(b + 6) (l) 3c(2 2c)

SECTION B Expand the bracket first, then solve by using the balancing method

Example: 3(2x 3) = 15
6x - 9 = 15
6x - 9+9 = 15+9
6x = 24
6 6
x = 4

(a) 2(x + 3) = 10 (b) 4(x 1) = 12 (c) 3(x + 7) = 9


(d) 2(x 1) = -4 (e) 4(3x 1) = 20 (f) 5(x + 6) = 20
(g) 2(5x 3) = 14 (h) 3(2x 1) = 15 (i) 4(x 2) = 3
(j) 3(x + 2) = 11 (k) 2(x + 3) = 7 (l) 2(2x + 3) = 1

SECTION C Expand the bracket(s)


Get rid of the smallest amount of letters first

Example: 2(2x 1) = 2(x + 2)


4x - 2 = 2x + 4
4x-2x - 2 = 2x-2x + 4 ( -2x from each side)
2x - 2 = + 4
2x - 2+2 = +4+2
2x =6
2 2
x = 3

(a) 2(x + 3) = x + 7 (b) 5(2x 1) = 3x + 9 (c) 3(x 1) = x + 7


(d) 3(x 1) = 2(x + 1) (e) 4(x + 2) = 2(x + 5) (f) 5(x + 1) = 3(x + 4)
(g) 2(x + 1) = 4(x 2) (h) 2(x 4) = 3(x + 2) (i) 4(x 3) = x
