Tangle Trap – Medium

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.
