Lesson 5

Expanding
Single
Brackets
Learning Objective
To expand single brackets.

Success Criteria
• To multiply a single bracket by a positive integer.
• To multiply a single bracket by a negative integer or letter.
• To multiply two single brackets then collect like terms.
Starter: Simplify the Expressions

2. a + a + b + a + =

5. 9x + 2y + 5z – 5x + 3z –=3y4x – y + 8z

6. 5 × 3t= 15t
7. 5y × 2= 10y
8. 2w × 4= 8w
9. 4y × 3y= 12y2
10. 5a × 5a= 25a2

Method
“Expand the brackets” – this means everything inside the bracket
must be multiplied by everything outside the bracket.

Examples: Your Turn:

2(3x + 4) 6x + 8 5(2x – 3) 10x – 15


= =

3(x – 2) 3x – 6 4(x – 1) 4x – 4
= =

“Expand the brackets” – this means everything inside the bracket


must be multiplied by everything outside the bracket.
Expanding Brackets
Simplify the following expressions:
1. 7(x + 2)= 7x + 14
2. 7(x – 7)= 7x – 49
3. 8(7x + 2)
= 56x + 16
4. 8(x + 2)= 8x + 16
5. 2(x – 6)= 2x – 12
6. 2(9x + 2)
= 18x + 4
7. 7(5x – 7)= 35x – 49
8. x(x + 4)= x2 + 4x
9. x(x – 8)= x2 – 8x
10. 5(5x – 8)= 25x – 40
11. x(2x + 4)
= 2x 2 + 4x
12. x(5x – 8)= 5x2 – 8x
Who Is Correct?
Expand and simplify:
4(3 + t) + 2(5 + t)

Cassie says the answer is: Carl says the answer is:
= 12 + t + 10 + t = 12 + 4t + 10 + 2t
= 22 + 2t = 22 + 6t

The answer is 22 + 6 t

What mistake did Cassie make?


She only multiplied the first term in each bracket instead of
both terms.
Expanding Pairs of Brackets
Simplify the following expressions:

Algebra and Area
To find the area of a rectangle we multiply the length by the width.
5cm

a=l×w
3cm

=5×3
= 15cm2

We can apply the same rule to forming an expression for the area
when we have unknown values.
Algebra and Area
Form an expression for the area of each shape. Give you answers in
both expanded and non-expanded form. All lengths are given in cm.

Expand and simplify:


3(3x + 4) + 4(3x –=2)9x + 12 + 12x – 8
= 21x + 4
