Ask the student a question, and give any hints about how they should answer this part.

$\simplify{{a[7]}x({a[8]}x^2+{a[9]}x)}=$ Unnamed gap

Advice

Expand brackets using the general formula $\displaystyle a(x+c)=ax+ac$ . This means we multiply each term inside the brackets by the term outside the brackets.

It is easy to forget that the sign outside the brackets also needs to be involved in the multiplication so remember that when two of the same sign are multiplied, the resultant term is positive and when opposite signs are multiplied, the result is negative.

$\begin{align} \simplify[terms]{{a[7]}x({a[8]}x^2+{a[9]}x)}&= \simplify[!collectNumbers]{{a[7]}x{a[8]}x^2+{a[7]}x{a[9]}x}\\&= \simplify{{a[7]}*{a[8]}x^3+{a[7]}*{a[9]}x^2}\text{.} \end{align}$
