This math topic challenges students to expand and simplify bracketed algebraic expressions. Specifically, the subject focuses on multiplying terms of same variable enclosed in brackets. This topic forms a crucial part of advanced polynomials and quadratics. To test understanding, students need to identify an expression equivalent to the one given among multiple options. For example, students might be asked to determine which expressions are equivalent to (r + 8)(r + 5), (p + 7)(p + 5), or (z + 3)(z + 3).
