GCSE Maths Practice: expanding-brackets

Question 9 of 10

This question practices expanding brackets where both terms are negative.

‹ ›

\( \begin{array}{l}\textbf{Expand and simplify the expression:} \\ (x - 10)(x - 5)\end{array} \)

Choose one option:

\( x^2 - 15x + 50 \) \( x^2 - 10x + 50 \) \( x^2 - 15x + 45 \)

Watch the negative signs and combine x-terms correctly.

Use FOIL systematically and combine like terms carefully to get the simplified result.
