On this page, we can see all the rules for parentheses in one spot.
Rule
Note! Remember to write the terms in descending order! Then it will look like this:
Example 1
Evaluate x + (−2x + 5)
Example 2
Evaluate 4 −(12 − 3x2)
Example 3
Evaluate −4x2 (2 − x)
Example 4
Evaluate (x + 1) (x − 2)
Example 5
Evaluate (3x2 + y) (2 − x)
Example 6
Evaluate (2x + 3) (4x − 5)
