Expanding Brackets and double brackets in algebra is a fundamental mathematical concept that helps simplify expressions by multiplying terms inside and outside parentheses. This comprehensive guide covers single and double bracket expansion techniques, including the FOIL method and squared brackets.

• Expanding single brackets involves multiplying each term inside the bracket by the term outside
• The FOIL method (First, Outside, Inside, Last) is used for expanding double brackets efficiently
• Squared brackets are rewritten as identical double brackets before expansion
• Examples demonstrate how to combine like terms after expansion
• Step-by-step solutions show proper algebraic manipulation techniques
