THE USE OF BRACKET IN MATHEMATICS

TOPIC REVIEW In this article, I will explain the use of a bracket, and suggest a better way of thinking about the topic. Please add your ideas in the comments BRACKET A bracket is used to clarify expressions by grouping those term affected by a common operator TYPES OF BRACKET Parenthesis                  (  ) Square Bracket            [  ] Braces                         {  } Angles Bracket           <  > USE OF BRACKET In order to simplify a Mathematical expression, it is frequently necessary to 'remove brackets' this means to rewrite an expression which includes a bracketed term in an equivalent form but without the bracket. for example,   8-(3+2) which is 8-(5) = 8-5 = 3 you can write 8-(3+2) in an equivalent form we will multiply the - sign with what is in the bracket -(3+2) which is -3-2  which rewrite our question to 8-3-2 = 3 either way the result is 3. 8-(3+2) is same as  8-3-2 this operation must be carried out according to certain r
