This item is taken from IGCSE Mathematics (0580) Paper 43 of October/November 2010.
To deal with this item, let us summarize the details of the problem:
(a) Syllabus area: Algebra
(b) Specific topic: Simplifying Algebraic Expressions
Take note that there are terms enclosed by parentheses and a term outside each group. This suggests the use of distributive property.
Therefore, x(x+3) + 4x(x-1) = 5x^2 - x.
