Best Answer

Multiply the coefficient by all the values inside the brackets.

Example 1:

2(y+1)

= 2 X y + 2 X 1

= 2y + 2

Example 2:

3 X 5y(y+4)

= 3 X (5y X y) + (5y X 4)

= 3 X 5y2 + 20y

What equation is equivalent to 3 over 15?

That's not an equation - an equation has an equal sign. To get an equivalent FRACTION, you can 1) Simplify the fraction. Look for common factors between the two numbers, then divide both parts of the fraction by this number. 2) Expand either the original fraction or the simplified fraction, by multiplying both parts by some number - the same number in both cases.


What is the first step you would do to both sides of an equation if you were going to solve it?

It would depend on the nature of each side. For example, if a side contained bracketed and not bracketed terms, then I would expand but, if not, I would not.
