Can Somebody, Please, Explain This Maths To Me? by Mustiboy(m): 6:56pm On Jun 01, 2018 |
I don't understand why 6mn-4m... changed to
6mn+4m... This same thing happened here. When + was added to -3 Why are the multiplication signs changing?

Everything inside the bracket was multiplied by negative sign outside the bracket. That's why 6mn changed to -6mn, and subsequently -4m^2n^3 changed to 4m^2n^3 |

chicoMX:I understand the upper one now as the result came by multiplication. What about this one I just highlighted? No multiplication took place here, yet (-3) was bracketed and a summation + sign precedes it. Where did the "+" come from? Can u explain the whole highlighted aspect in red, please? I'm really sorry for the questions. I just started studying mathematics by myself the previous month (with no idea of any calculations before) , and I've been doing quiet well even in some more complex topics but this particular one I'm yet to understand.

Mustiboy:. After multiplying out the bracket You collect like terms, -3+6=3 If you multiply +(-3+6) you will still get -3+6 Nothing has taken place, it's just for convenience |
