GCSE Maths Practice: expanding-brackets

Question 2 of 11

This question tests expanding brackets with one positive and one negative number.

‹ ›

\( \begin{array}{l}\textbf{Which of the following is the correct expansion of:} \\ (x + 2)(x - 3)?\end{array} \)

Choose one option:

\( x^2 - x - 6 \) \( x^2 - 6x + 6 \) \( x^2 + 5x + 6 \) \( x^2 - x - 8 \)

Pay close attention to signs when multiplying negative numbers.

Remember: multiplying a positive by a negative gives a negative term. Distribute each term and sum like terms.
