GCSE Maths Practice: expanding-brackets

Question 10 of 11

This question reinforces multiplying a larger and a smaller number bracket.

‹ ›

\( \begin{array}{l}\textbf{Expand and simplify the expression:} \\ (x + 12)(x + 5)\end{array} \)

Choose one option:

\( x^2 + 17x + 60 \) \( x^2 + 16x + 60 \) \( x^2 + 15x + 60 \) \( x^2 + 17x + 61 \)

Check your addition of x terms to avoid small mistakes.

Always multiply each term in the first bracket by each term in the second bracket, then sum the x-terms.
