GCSE Maths Practice: expanding-brackets

Question 9 of 10

This question practices expanding brackets where the first term has a coefficient and the second bracket has a negative term.

‹ ›

\( \text{Expand and simplify: } (3x + 4)(x - 5) \)

Choose one option:

\( 3x^2 - 11x - 20 \) \( 3x^2 - 15x - 20 \) \( 3x^2 - 11x + 20 \)

Pay careful attention to negative signs and correctly sum the x-terms.

Use FOIL systematically (First, Outer, Inner, Last) and combine like terms carefully to get the final answer.
