Use a “bracket checklist”: if you remove brackets one by one, you’ll stay in control.

Mark each bracket you’ve fully expanded.
After expanding, rewrite the whole expression cleanly on the next line.
Only combine like terms after the expression is bracket-free.

Tip: rewriting may feel slower, but it prevents lost terms and wrong signs.
