Tangle Trap – Level 1 – Easy

Tangle Trap – Easy

What this puzzle is: you’re given one “tangled” algebra expression. Your job is to untangle it into a clean, simplified form (usually by expanding brackets and collecting like terms).

How to solve it:

• Expand one bracket at a time (distribute carefully and write every term).
• Remove brackets and then collect like terms (x terms with x terms, constants with constants).
• Double-check signs — most errors come from negatives.

Finish: your final answer should be the simplest equivalent expression (no brackets left, like terms combined).
