GCSE Maths Practice: expanding-brackets

Question 3 of 11

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

‹ ›

\( \begin{array}{l}\textbf{Which of the following expressions correctly expand:} \\ (x - 3)(x + 2)?\end{array} \)

Choose one option:

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

Pay close attention to signs when multiplying negative numbers.

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