- Type expressions plainly:
3x+12,-2x+6,7. - Order does not matter:
12+3xis accepted for3x+12. - Use
*if you like:3*x+12. Spaces are ignored.
2 Problem types
The generator mixes these types at random.
Expand a(b + c)
Every inside term gets multiplied.
3(x+4) → 3x+12
Expand with negatives
Signs ride along.
−2(x−3) → −2x+6
Combine like terms
Same variable AND exponent.
3x−7x+4 → −4x+4
Simplify fully
Distribute, then combine.
2(x+3)+4x−5 → 6x+1
Distribute negatives
Two distributions, careful signs.
3(2x−1)−2(x+4)
