Multiply Bracketed Terms, Different Variables (First Term) (Level 1)

This math topic focuses on practicing the multiplication of algebraic expressions with bracketed terms that involve different variables. It targets skills in expanding expressions such as \((y - 3)(c + 5)\) or \((b + 4)(x - 6)\), and identifying equivalent forms of these products. Each problem presents an expression in a format such as \((variable1 ± constant) (variable2 ± constant)\) and asks to select the correct expanded form from provided options. By tackling these exercises, students enhance their understanding of distributing across terms and handling algebra with different variables.
