 Expand double pairs of brackets


Expand a single brackets
IN GENERAL

w ( x  y)  ( w  x )  (w  y)
 wx  wy
1) c(v  4f )
 ( c  v )  ( c   4f )
 cv  (4cf )
 cv  4cf
2)5(4r  3h )
 (5  4r )  (5  3h )
 20r  15h

3)  a (2b  4c)
 (  a  2 b )  (  a  4c )
 (2ab)  (4ac)
 2ab  4ac
Expand double bracket

1)( y  8)(2 y  4)
 y(2y - 4)  8(2y - 4)
 2 y  4 y  16y - 32
2

 2 y  4 y  16 y  32
2

 2 y  12 y  32
