When expanding brackets, you have to multiply whatever is outside by everything on the inside The calculations you would do are y x y y x 10
Whenever a value is multiplied by itself once, we describe it as the value squared (²) y x y can be written as y²
y x 10 is the same as 10 lots of y In algebra, we don't write multiplication signs as it can get confusing so we write the number directly in front of the letter 10y
