If you mean expanded form. then that means that instead of writing a number like this, 1038, you would write it like 1000+30+8.

Make it bigger.

I.E (x+4)(x+5)=x^2+9x+20 is called expanding brackets.

if you are expanding a bracket it wants you to make it simpler and / or bigger/smaller

for an example 5(2y+3) would be 10y+15
