📘 Part of a Structured Algebra Learning System.
Designed for Grades 6–8 students learning algebra step-by-step.
Expanding brackets with negatives means multiplying negative numbers through brackets carefully while applying sign rules correctly.
The negative number must be multiplied by every term inside the brackets.
Simplify: -2(y + 3)
Multiply −2 by each term inside the brackets: (−2 × y) + (−2 × 3)
-2(y + 3) → -2y – 6
