(x+y) is the same as x+y

3(x+y) is 3 times as much. You multiply both x and y with 3 = 3x+3y

3(2x+4y) is the same as 3*2x+3*4y = 6x+12y

This is the general start of how to "solve" and do calculations with parentheses.

I am sure other people can add more examples with higher difficulty

There's no fun in playing it safe. Why not try something a little unhinged?

I've made my fair share of mistakes, and if I can help you avoid a few, I'd sure like to try.
