Expressions:

1. Combining like terms: 4. Flipping Fractions:

Ex: 2( 22 – 3 a2 b2 – 4 b2 ) – ( a2 + 5 a2 b2 – 10 1
b2 ) 2 1 1 1
Ex: = . =
3 2 3 6
= ( 4 a2 – 6 a2 b2 – 8 b2 ) – ( a2 + 5 a2 b2 – 10
b2) 1 3 3
Ex2: 2 = 1 . =
= 3 a2 – 11 a2 b2 + 2 b2 2 2
3

2. Expansion & Factoring: 5. Splitting Fractions:

Ex.: 2 ( x – 4 ) ( 2x + 3 ) 30+𝑐 30 𝑐 𝑐
= + = 5
= 4 x2 + 6 x – 16 x – 24 6 6 6 6

= 4 x2 – 10 x – 24
