1 Use the distributive law. Multiply each term inside
7p(3q + 4e)
a
a
the brackets (3q and 4e) by the term in front of the
= 7p × 3q + 7p × 4e
brackets (7p).
2 Simplify by performing the multiplications. Write the
= 21pq + 28ep
pronumerals in each term in alphabetical order.
1 Multiply each term inside the brackets (5m and −4)
2m(5m − 4)
b

by 2m.
= 2m × 5m + 2m × (−4)
