What does it mean in maths when there is only one number in the brackets instead of a sum?
It means that the term inside the brackets needs to be multiplied by the previous term outside the bracket..
What are the grammatical rules for brackets?
Use the same rules inside brackets as you would outside of brackets. There is no difference between the two.
What is the distributive property law in math?
the dis. property for math is when there are multiple values within perentheses or brackets, you must distribute the number that the parenthese are being multiplied by for example: 3(12+N)=45 you must distribute the "3" to the 12 and the N now you have: 36+3N=45 you now solve it like anormal equation
Explain brackets in order of operation?
Brackets are basically the same as parentheses. If they are inside of parentheses, then you simplify that term before anything else. If they are outside of parentheses, then you simplify the terms in the parentheses first and then the term within the brackets.
How do you distribute a math problem?
To distribute a math problem you have to multiply each number and carry it on the next number. Confusing.. but here... a(b+c) to distribute this you take the a and multiply by both numbers.it would be ab+ac:)

Add multiply what is in parentheses and the number that is on the outside of the parentheses that is to the right or to the left.

Do you need a full stop in brackets?
No. Brackets should be inserted within a sentence, and therefore the full stop should go outside the brackets at the end.
What is the number in brackets beside the username on WikiAnswers?

What is the difference if the negative sign is inside or outside of the brackets in algebra?
If the negative sign is inside the brackets, for example: [-2(9)] it is a negative two and you times that by positive nine. But if it were -[2(9)] than you times two by nine and get eighteen, THEN the eighteen takes on the negative. So basically, if the negative sign is inside the bracket, then it will only affect the number it is closest to, but if it is outside the brackets, it affects all over the numbers inside of it.

Brackets around a number mean that the number is of a negative value. Instead of saying -$40 you would express it as ($40).

What is the difference in algebra if the negative sign is inside or outside the brackets?
If it's inside the brackets it means that it belongs to that specific term, but if it was outside the brackets, it means that every term inside the brackets goes out with opossite sign. For example: [ -5x + 6y ] = -5x + 6y , the negative is only for 5x, but if you had - [ -5x + 6y] = 5x - 6y , every term inside the bracket goes out with opossite sign.
What absolute value of a number?
The absolute value of any number depends upon the negative, positive, and the position of said negatives or positives. For example: |-90| would be 90 due to the fact the negative sign is inside the absolute value brackets. Now -|90| would be -90 as the negative sign is outside the absolute value brackets.
