In each question remove the brackets and simplify: \( \begin{array}{lll}\text { 1. (a) } 2(x+2) & \text { (b) } 4(x+3) & \text { (c) } 3(x+2) \\ \text { 2. (a) } 4(2 y+3) & \text { (b) } 9(3 y-1) & \text { (c) } 4(2 y-3)\end{array} \)

Sure! Let's remove the brackets and simplify each expression: **1.** - **(a)** \[ 2(x + 2) = 2x + 4 \] - **(b)** \[ 4(x + 3) = 4x + 12 \] - **(c)** \[ 3(x + 2) = 3x + 6 \] **2.** - **(a)** \[ 4(2y + 3) = 8y + 12 \] - **(b)** \[ 9(3y - 1) = 27y - 9 \] - **(c)** \[ 4(2y - 3) = 8y - 12 \] --- **Summary of Simplified Expressions:** 1.   a) 2x + 4   b) 4x + 12   c) 3x + 6 2.   a) 8y + 12   b) 27y − 9   c) 8y − 12
