📘 Part of a Structured Algebra Learning System.
Designed for Grades 6–8 students learning algebra step-by-step.
Expanding brackets means multiplying the term outside the brackets by every term inside the brackets.
Each term inside the brackets must be multiplied by the term outside.
Simplify: 3(y + 2)
Multiply 3 by each term inside the brackets: (3 × y) + (3 × 2)
3(y + 2) → 3y + 6
