I think what you're looking for is how to solve this, or at least simplify it.
3%283-4f-ef%29
9-12f-3ef
It cannot be simplified any further. You just take the coefficient times each item in the parenthesis. Pay attention to your signs also. So...
If you have a%28b%2Bc-d%29 This simplifies to ab%2Bac-ad
