Why do you not post a few questions on this site. Do you really expext to be supplied with questions AND answers?
If you have two brackets multiplied together, multiply each term in the first bracket by each term in the second bracket: (a + b)(c + d) a(c + d) + b(c + d) ac + ad + bc + bd If you have two brackets multipled together and by a term, multiply each term in the first bracket by each term in the second bracket, then multiply each term in the bracket by the outside term: a(b + c)(d + e) a[b(d + e) + c(d + e)] a(bd + be + cd + ce) abd + abe + acd + ace
