Expand, Factor and Collect Like Terms

Expand, factor, or combine like terms — do what each problem asks. Show your work.

ExampleExpand the expression: −2(6x − 12) Multiply each term inside the bracket by −2: −12x + 24. Multiplying by a negative flips the sign of both terms.
  1. 1.Expand the expression: 2(9x − 9)
  2. 2.Factor the expression: 12x − 9
  3. 3.Write as a single expression: 8x + 1 − (3x + 5)
  4. 4.Expand the expression: 2(8x + 5)
  5. 5.Factor the expression: 12x − 21
