simplify: 5-3(4x-1)
\n" ); document.write( "5-12x+3 [Distribute the (-3)]
\n" ); document.write( "8-12x [Combine like-terms]
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "Expand the brackets:
\n" ); document.write( "(x+5)(2-x) [Use the FOIL method to multiply]
\n" ); document.write( "2x-x^2+10-5x [Combine like-terms]
\n" ); document.write( "-x^2-3x+10
\n" ); document.write( ".\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "(3x-y)^2 [Expand the expression]
\n" ); document.write( "(3x-y)(3x-y) [Use the FOIL method to multiply]
\n" ); document.write( "9x^2-3xy-3xy+y^2 [Combine like-terms]
\n" ); document.write( "9x^2-6xy+y^2\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "
