Collecting terms Multiplying terms Dividing terms Multiply out brackets
Remember Remember BODMAS says • Y × X = YX • You can divide powers of • 3 47=3×11=33 3x the same number by • P × P = P2 You can also do the sum like this subtracting the powers, so • –4 × 5 = –20 58 2 • 3 47=3×43×7=33 Remember that a 'term' has a 6 =5 • –7 × –9 = +63 5 So, look at the lines... sign, a number and a letter. The sign stays 'glued' onto the number So −12 −3 3 2 x4=3×2 x3×4=6 x12 • = The rules are and letter so you can move them 8 2 around... 3x × 2y = –6xy the same as for multiplying Try to follow these examples (and E.G. 1. So 5x3y−3x2y is the remember your directed numbers) The steps The steps same as 5x−3x3y2y 1. Sort out the signs because I just moved the -3x. This 1. Sort out the signs 2. Multiply the numbers 1. 23x −5=6x −10 works out to be 2x5y 3. Multiply the letters 2. Cancel the numbers 2. −32x −1=−6x 3 E.G. 2. Sometimes you have to 3. Work out the powers of the Some examples 3. −5 3−2x =−1510x think about the directed numbers, letters so 7x−4y−3x−6y is the same 4. −2y 3x4 =−6xy−8y 1. −4r×3q=−12rq A few examples as 7x−3x−4y−6y=4x−10y 2. −6x×8y=−48xy 15xy 1. =3y Xs cancelled A minus sign outside the bracket E.G. 3. Powers must be treated 5x 3. x× x×x× x=x 4 simply switches all the signs in as different symbols, so in the 12x2 y 2 4 expression 5p2 −3p−2p2 7p , 4. 3×r×r×h=3 r h 2 2. = xy the bracket. 9xy 3 you treat p2 as different to p, 5. 2x×−3y×12x=−72 x 2 y If there are two brackets, just giving 21 p q3 3 3. = 1. Multiply out the first 2 2 5p −2p 7p−3p=3p −4p 2 Make sure you know how the 2 3 14 p q 2 p examples work, and then try the 2. Multiply out the second ones on the practice sheet before Your turn, try cancelling the Try the ones on the practice sheet algebraic fractions on the practice 3. Collect the terms! now before moving on... moving on... sheet... Your turn...
