1. Simplify:
a. 2 2 + 3 2 = 2(2 + 3)
= 2(5)
=5 2
c. 5 5 3 5 = 5(5 3)
= 5(2)
=2 5
1. Simplify:
e. 3 5 5 5 = 5(3 5)
= 5(2)
=2 5
g. 9 6 12 6 = 6(9 12)
= 6(3)
=3 6
2. Simplify:
a. 2(3 2) =3 2 2

c. 10(3 + 2 10) =3 10 + (2 10)

=3 10 + 20

e. 3(5 + 3) =5 3 3
2. Simplify:
g. 8( 8 5) =8 + 5 8
3. Simplify:
a. (5 + 2)(4 + 2) =20 + 5 2 + 4 2 + 2
=20 + 9 2 + 2
=22 + 9 2
c. (9 7)(4 + 2 7) =36 + 18 7 4 7 2(7)
=36 + 14 7 14
=22 + 14 7
3. Simplify:
e. ( 8 6)(2 8 3) =2 8 3 8 12 8 + 18
=16 15 8 + 18
=34 15 8
4. Simplify:
a. (3 + 2) = (3 + 2)(3 + 2)
=9 + 3 2 + 3 2 + 2
=11 + 6 2

c. ( 5 + 1) = ( 5 + 1)( 5 + 1)
=5 + 1 5 + 1 5 + 1
=6 + 2 5
4. Simplify:
e. (4 + 2 3) = (4 + 2 3)(4 + 2 3)
=16 + 8 3 + 8 3 + 4(3)
=28 + 16 3
g. (7 2 10) = (7 2 10)(7 2 10)
=49 14 10 14 10 + 4(10)
=89 28 10
5. Simplify:
a. (3 + 7)(3 7) =9 3 7 + 3 7 7
=9 7
=2
c. (4 3)(4 + 3) =42 3
=16 3
=13
5. Simplify:

e. (4 + 3 8)(4 3 8) =42 3(8)

=16 72
=56
